Concrete exhibits high compressive strength when used. However, it has very low compressive strength. This is the reason why concrete is normally combined with steel to make a composite building material called reinforced concrete. The steel reinforces concrete hence increasing the tensile strength in RC buildings. The end composite is durable and fireproof. Generally, the main reason why concrete is not use on its own is due to its poor tensile strength.

g A pedometer treats walking 2,000 steps as walking 1 mile. Write a program whose input is the number of steps, and whose output

Nataly [62]

Answer:

# Program is written in Python Programming Language

# Comments are used for explanatory purpose

# Program starts here

# Accept input

Steps = input (Number of Steps: ")

# Calculate distance

distance = float(2000) * float(steps)

#Print Formatted Result

print('%0.2f' % distance)

# End of Program

.--------

The above program converts number of steps to miles.

At line 5, the number of steps is inputted and stored in variable named Steps.

At line 6, the number of miles is calculated by multiplying 2000 by the content of variable Steps

The result is printed at line 8

Milk has a density of as much as 64.6 lb/ft3. What is the gage pressure at the bottom of the straw 6.1 inches deep in the milk?

gregori [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 inch is 0.0833333feet

6.1 inches is 0.5083 feet

Density = mass/volume

64.6 = mass/0.50833

mass = 64.6 x 0.5083 =32.83618lb
