Answer:

It has poor tensile strength despite having high compressive strength

Explanation:

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.

A water-filled manometer is used to measure the pressure in an air-filled tank. One leg of the manometer is open to atmosphere.

ddd [48]

Answer:

$P = 150.335\,kPa$ (Option B)

Explanation:

The absolute pressure of the air-filled tank is:

$P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)$

$P = 150.335\,kPa$

The unit for volume flow rate is gallons per minute, but cubic feet per second is preferred. Use the conversion factor tables in

amm1812

Answer:

The conversion factor is 0.00223 ( 1 gallon per minute equals 0.00223 cubic feet per second)

Explanation:

Since the given volume flow rate is gallons per minute.

We know that 1 gallon = 3.785 liters and

1 minute = 60 seconds

Let the flow rate be $Q\frac{gallons}{minute}$

Now replacing the gallon and the minute by the above values we get

$Q'=Q\frac{gallon}{minute}\times \frac{3.785liters}{gallon}\times \frac{1minute}{60seconds}$

Thus $Q'=0.631Q\frac{liters}{second}$

Now since we know that 1 liter = $0.0353ft^{3}$

Using this in above relation we get

$Q'=0.631Q\frac{liters}{second}\times \frac{0.0353ft^3}{liters}\\\\\therefore Q'=0.00223Q$

From the above relation we can see that flow rate of 1 gallons per minute equals flow rate of 0.00223 cubic feet per second. Thus the conversion factor is 0.00223.

In Lab 7, we worked through a program that displayed the homeless shelter occupancy over time. The same approach can be used for

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The python code to generate this is quite simple to run.

i hope you understand everything written here, you can as well try out other problems to understand better.

First to begin, we import the package;

Code:

import pandas as pd

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

name = input('Enter name of the file: ')

op = input('Enter name of output file: ')

df = pd.read_csv(name)

df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df["Date"].apply(str))

plt.plot(df['Date'],df['Absent']/(df['Present']+df['Absent']+df['Released']),label="% Absent")

plt.legend(loc="upper right")

plt.xticks(rotation=20)

plt.savefig(op)

plt.show()

This should generate the data(plot) as seen in the uploaded screenshot.

thanks i hope this helps!!!

1. Assume that EAX contains ff ff ff 51 and the doubleword referenced by value contains ff ff ff f1.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

1. True

2. False

Explanation:

given data

EAX contains = ff ff ff 51

doubleword referenced = ff ff ff f1

conditional jump add = eax

solution

1st statement is true

but 2nd statement is false

as here

js or jne instruction is the conditional jump that is follow a test
It jump to the specified location when previous instructions are set the SF (Sign Flag) .
