<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

An automobile travels along a straight road at 15.65 m/s through a 11.18 m/s speed zone. A police car observed the automobile. A
irina [24]

An automobile travels along a straight road at 15.65 m/s through a 11.18 m/s speed zone. A police car observed the automobile. At the instant that the two vehicles are abreast of each other, the police car starts to pursue the automobile at a constant acceleration of 1.96 m/s2 . The motorist noticed the police car in his rear view mirror 12 s after the police car started the pursuit and applied his brakes and decelerates at 3.05 m/s2

Find the total time required for the police car  to over take the automobile.

Answer:

15.02 sec

Explanation:

The total time required for the police car to overtake the automobile is related to the distance covered by both  cars which is equal from instant point of abreast.

So; we can say :

D_{pursuit} =D_{police}

By using the second equation of motion to find the distance S;

S= ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

D_{pursuit} = (15.65 *12 )+(15.65 (t)+ (\dfrac{1}{2}*(-3.05)t^2)

D_{pursuit} = (187.8)+(15.65 \ t)-0.5*(3.05)t^2)

D_{pursuit} = (187.8+15.65 \ t-1.525 t^2)

D_{police} = ut _P + \dfrac{1}{2}at_p^2

where ;

u  = 0

D_{police} =  \dfrac{1}{2}at_p^2

D_{police} =  \dfrac{1}{2}*(1.96)*(t+12)^2

D_{police} = 0.98*(t+12)^2

D_{police} = 0.98*(t^2 + 144 + 24t)

D_{police} = 0.98t^2 + 141.12 + 23.52t

Recall that:

D_{pursuit} =D_{police}

(187.8+15.65 \ t-1.525 t^2)=  0.98t^2 + 141.12 + 23.52t

(187.8 - 141.12)  + (15.65 \ t  -  23.52t)  -( 1.525 t^2    - 0.98t^2)  =   0

= 46.68 - 7.85 t -2.505 t² = 0

Solving by using quadratic equation;

t = -6.16 OR  t = 3.02

Since we can only take consideration of the value with a  positive integer only; then t = 3.02 secs

From the question; The motorist noticed the police car in his rear view mirror 12 s after the police car started the pursuit;

Therefore ; the total time  required for the police car  to over take the automobile = 12 s + 3.02 s

Total time  required for the police car  to over take the automobile = 15.02 sec

What historical event allowed both aerospace fields to make enormous strides forward?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The world wars. Especially world War II

Explanation:

The world wars were the single most notable events that led to the leap in development of the aircraft from a simple apparatus capable of flight to a sophisticated flight machine. Airplane production was at its maximum during these periods (especially world war II) and has never seen that capacity of production again since. Countries focused on research that could add even the slightest enhancements to their aircraft in order to for it to surpass that of other countries.
