The article on the next page from the San Francisco Chronicle, January 27, 1996, describes very serious problems of subsidence,

water supply, and environmental pollution that exist today in Mexico City. A stratum of very soft, very high water content clay is the source of most of the settlement that accompanies the pumping of water from the underlying aquifer systems. The clay stratum thickness averaged 79 ft in 1936, and had an average water content of 356 percent. The soil solids have a specific gravity of 2.65. The average settlement of 22 feet during the 60 year period referred to in the newspaper

Answer:

246.3%

the complete question is found in the attached document

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step:

using 1936 data,

w1= 356% = 3.56(356/100) , H= 79 feet

specific gravity = 2.65

Sₓ= 100%= 1

initial void ratio(e₀)= (w1 x specific gravity)/Sₓ

=3.56 x 2.65/1 = 9.434

2nd step

using 1996 data

ΔH= 22ft

ΔH/H = Δe/(1 + e₀)

22/79 = Δe/(1+9.434)

0.278=Δe/10.434

Δe= 0.278 x 10.434

Δe= 2.905

Δe= e₀ - eₓ

eₓ= e₀-Δe

eₓ= 9.434 - 2.905

eₓ= 6.529

3rd step

calculating water content in 1996

eₓ =6.529, specific gravity= 2.65, Sₓ= 100%

W2 X 2.65 = 1 x 6.529

w2 = 6.529/2.65 = 2.463 = 246.3%

Avery and Caden have saved $27,000 towards a down payment on a house. They want to keep some of the money in a bank account that
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

They should put $6750 in the bank account and $20,250 in the stock fund.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information that Avery and Caden have saved $27000.

Let <em>x</em> is the money deposit in the bank and <em>y</em> is the money deposit in stock fund.

Therefore,

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 27000

<em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em>

The bank account will pay 2.4% annual interest.

\frac{2.4}{100}x+x=1.024x

Stock fund pays 7.2% annual interest.

\frac{7.2}{100}y+y=1.072y

Therefore,

1.024 <em>x</em> + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 1.06 × 27000

Substitute the <em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em> in above equation.

1.024 (27000 − <em>y</em>) + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 1.06 × 27000

27648 − 1.024 <em>y</em> + 1.072 <em>y</em> = 28620

0.048 <em>y</em> = 28620-27648

0.048 <em>y</em> = 972

<em>y</em> = 20250

Now, substitute the <em>y</em> = 20250 in <em>x</em>  = 27000 - <em>y</em>.

<em>x</em> = 27000 − 20250

<em>x</em> = 6750

Hence, they should put $6750 in the bank account and $20,250 in the stock fund.

Total surface area of a cube is 1014cm^2. It's volume will be :
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Option A (2197 cm³)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cube with length of each side "a" , it's

  • Total Surface Area = 6a²
  • Volume = a³

_____________________________________________

According to the question ,

Total Surface Area = 1014 cm²

Let the length of each side of cube be 'a'.

Using the formula ,

6a^{2} =1014

=> a^{2} =\frac{1014}{6} = 169

=> a = \sqrt{169} = +13 \: or  -13

But length can't be negative . So , length of each side = 13 cm

∴ Volume of cube = 13³ = 2197 cm³
