<u>Explanation:</u>

Determine the weight of footing

W_{f}=\gamma(L)(B)(D)

Where W_{f} is the weight of footing, γ is the unit weight of concrete,  L is the length of footing is the width of footing, and D is the depth of footing

Substitute 2 m \text { for } L, 1.5 m \text { for } B, 0.5 m \text { for } D \text { and } 23.6 kN / m ^{3} for γ in the equation

\begin{aligned}W_{f} &=\left(23.6 kN / m ^{3}\right)(2 m )(1.5 m )(0.5 m ) \\&=35.4 kN\end{aligned}

Therefore, the weight of the footing is 35.4 kN

Determine the initial vertical effective stress.

\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}=\gamma(D+B)-u

Here,   \sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime} is initial vertical stress at a depth below ground surface  γ is the unit weight of soil, D is depth and u is pore water pressure.

Substitute 18 kN / m ^{3} \text { for } \gamma, 1.5 m \text { for } B, 0.5 m \text { for } D \text { and } 0 for u in the equation

\begin{aligned}\sigma_{z p}^{\prime} &=\left(18 kN / m ^{3}\right)(1.5+0.5) m -0 \\&=36 kPa\end{aligned}

Therefore, the initial vertical stress is 36 kPa

Determine the vertical effective stress.

\sigma_{z D}^{\prime}=\gamma D

Here,   \sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime} is initial vertical stress at a depth below ground surface  γ is the unit weight of soil, D is depth and u is pore water pressure.

Substitute \(18 kN / m ^{3}\) for \(\gamma, 0.5 m\) for \(D\) and 0 for \(u\) in the equation.

\begin{aligned}\sigma_{z b}^{\prime} &=\left(18 kN / m ^{3}\right)(0.5 m )-0 \\&=9 kPa\end{aligned}

Therefore, the vertical stress at a depth below the ground surface is

9 kPa

Determine the influence factor at the midpoint of soil layer,

I_{e p}=0.5+0.1 \sqrt{\frac{q-\sigma_{s 0}^{\prime}}{\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}}}

Here I_{e p} is the influence factor at the midpoint of soil layer  \sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime} is initial vertical stress, \sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime} is vertical effective stress, and Q is bearing pressure

Substitute 36 kPa for \(\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}, 228.47\) kPa for \(q,\) and 9 kPa for \(\sigma_{z D}^{\prime}\) in the equation\begin{aligned}I_{\epsilon P} &=0.5+0.1 \sqrt{\frac{228.47 kPa -9 kPa }{36 kPa }} \\&=0.75\end{aligned}

Therefore the influence factor at the midpoint of the soil layer is 0.693

Why is it reasonable to say that no system is 100% efficient?​
Virty [35]

Generally, frictional losses are more predominant for the machines being not 100% efficient. This friction leads to the loss of energy in the form of heat, into the surroundings. Some of the supplied energy may be utilised to change the entropy (measure of randomness of the particles) of the system.

Windmills slow the air and cause it to fill a larger channel as it passes through the blades. Consider a circular windmill with
Scilla [17]

Answer:

DIAMETER  = 9.797 m

POWER = \dot W = 28.6 kW

Explanation:

Given data:

circular windmill diamter D1 = 8m

v1 = 12 m/s

wind speed = 8 m/s

we know that specific volume is given as

v =\frac{RT}{P}

  where v is specific volume of air

considering air pressure is 100 kPa and temperature 20 degree celcius

v =  \frac{0.287\times 293}{100}

v = 0.8409 m^3/ kg

from continuity equation

A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2

\frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 V_1 = \frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 V_2

D_2 = D_1 \sqrt{\frac{V_1}{V_2}}

D_2 = 8 \times \sqrt{\frac{12}{8}}

D_2 = 9.797 m

mass flow rate is given as

\dot m = \frac{A_1 V_1}{v} = \frac{\pi 8^2\times 12}{4\times 0.8049}

\dot m = 717.309 kg/s

the power produced \dot W = \dot m \frac{ V_1^2 - V_2^2}{2} = 717.3009 [\frac{12^2 - 8^2}{2} \times \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/s^2}]

\dot W = 28.6 kW

Given a mass-spring-damper system. The impulse response of strength 1 can be obtained from a unit step response by: ______
Alina [70]

Answer:

Multiplying impulse response by t  ( option D )

Explanation:

We can obtain The impulse response of strength 1 considering a unit step response by Multiplying impulse response by t .

When we consider the Laplace Domain, and the relationship between unit step and impulse, we can deduce that the Impulse response will take the inverse Laplace transform of the function ( transfer ) . Hence Multiplying impulse response by t will be used .

Technician A says that hoods are designed with reinforcements to prevent folding during a collision. Technician B says that some
-BARSIC- [3]

Technician A is wrong.

  • Usually, hoods have what is called "Crush Zones" underneath the panels. The function of the Crush Zone is to prevent the hoods, during a collision, from entering into the passenger space.

  • The crush zones allow the hoods to fold instead.

Technician B is right.

  • Automobile producers now make use of a hybrid form of hood that consists of fiberglass reinforced with plastic.

  • They are mostly used for trucks that have a low volume of production.

  • The hood is built using a process called Resin Transfer Model (RTM).
