Floor trap is also called as Nahni Trap (Nahni in hindi means washing/ bat hing place). I t is provided to prevent the foul gases by providing the water seal. To collect wastewater from the bathroom, wash area, wash basin, kitchen sinks etc.
A gully trap is provided outside the building before connecting to external sewerage line and it collects waste water from the building.
A bottle trap also called a waste trap, is an essential element of the wash-basin’s plumbing that keeps the bathroom hygienic and odor-free, as it prevents the foul gases from returning.
Intercepting Trap is used at the Junction of house drain and sewer.

Correct Option: C

A colony of 50 people is served by a septic tank. The rate of water supply is 90lped in the colony and 40% of it is going to the septic tank. The retention period of the tank is 24 hours. The length of the septic tank is _____ meter (rounded off to two decimal places).
Assume, storage capacity/person = 0.085 m³ (year)
Space for digestion = 0.0425 m³ /person
Depth of tank = 1.4 m ; Length : Width = 2 : 1

Water in septic tank = 50 × 90 × 1 × 0.4 = 1.8 cu. m (40% of total consumption)
Storage volume of septic tank = 0.085 × 50 = 4.25 cu. m
Digestion volume of septic tank = 0.0425 × 50 = 2.125 cu. m
Total volume = 1.8 + 4.25 + 2.125 = 8.175 cu. m
Area of plane = Volume = 8.175 = 5.84 Sq m
Height 1.4

If width is ‘a’, length will be ‘2a’
2a² = 5.84
a = √(2.92) = 1.7
Length of septic tank = 2a = 2 × 1.7 = 3.4 m

Solar panels are proposed to be installed on a building roof top to generate electricity. The size of each solar panel is 2 m². The efficiency of each panel is 75%. The orientation of the solar panel and related solar data are given in the table below. As per above proposal ______ kWh solar power will be generated daily (rounded off to one decimal place).

1. 28.5
1. 14.5
1. 7.5
1. None of the above

Solar power generated = Average solar radiation × Area × Average solar hours × Efficiency
Solar power from the south orientation = 400 × 20 × 4 × 0.75 = 24 kWh
Solar power from the West orientation = 300 × 10 × 2 × 0.75 = 4.5 kWh
Total Solar power generated = 24 + 4.5 = 28.5 kWh

Correct Option: A

Solar power generated = Average solar radiation × Area × Average solar hours × Efficiency
Solar power from the south orientation = 400 × 20 × 4 × 0.75 = 24 kWh
Solar power from the West orientation = 300 × 10 × 2 × 0.75 = 4.5 kWh
Total Solar power generated = 24 + 4.5 = 28.5 kWh

A simply supported beam AB has a clear span of 7 meter. The bending moment diagram (BMD) of the beam due to a single concentrated load is shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of the concentrated load in kN is _________.

For eccentric point load on a simply supported beam

Moment along any plane xx’,
M_X = R_A x = Wbx / L
M_X = Wbx / L
Maximum Bending Moment
= Wab = (W × 3 × 4)
L 7

36 = 12W
