Question

Your sprayer has a 60-foot wide boom with 36 nozzles along this 60-foot length. Your spray speed is 4.5 miles per hour and you want 25 GPA. How much should you catch per nozzle in 15 seconds to be properly calibrated?

Answer 1

358.52 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The required amount you should catch per nozzle in 15 secs. can be determined by using the formula:

`Gallons/Min = ((Gallons/Acre * Miles/Hour * nozzle \ spacing ))/(5940)`

where;

Gallons/Acre = 25 GPA

`= ((25 * 4.5 * 60 * (12)/( 36)))/(5940) * (15)/(60)`

`= ((25 * 4.5 * 60 *0.333))/(5940) * 0.25`

`= ((2247.75))/(5940) * 0.25`

= 0.0946 gps

= 358.52 m/s
