Answer:
The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.
Explanation:
Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil
The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula

where
'H' is the initial depth of the layer
is the Compression index
is the inital void ratio
is the initial effective stress at the depth
is the change in the effective stress at the given depth
Applying the given values we get

Answer:

Explanation:
The power needed to make the escalator working is obtained by means of the Work-Energy Theorem:




The mechanical efficiency of the escalator is:


Answer:
The graph representing the linear inequalities is attached below.
Explanation:
The inequalities given are :
y>x-2 and y<x+1
For tables for values of x and y and get coordinates to plot for both equation.
In the first equation;
y>x-2
y=x-2
y-x = -2
The table will be :
x y
-2 -4
-1 -3
0 -2
1 -1
2 0
The coordinates to plot are : (-2,-4) , (-1,-3), (0,-2), (1,-1) ,(2,0)
Use a dotted line and shade the part right hand side of the line.
Do the same for the second inequality equation and plot then shade the part satisfying the inequality.
The graph attached shows results.
