An existing building is suffering from cracks in the exterior walls. The investigating engineer wants to ensure that the foundat

ions are not overloaded. The existing columns carry dead live load of 45,000 pounds. The footings are 3 ft 6 in. x 3 ft 6 in. x 1 ft 6 in. thick and rest on sandy soil. The soils report estimates the allowable soil bearing pressure to be 2500 psf. What would be the smallest area for a safe footings are adequate to carry the load?

Answer:

18 ft^{2}

Explanation:

Soil bearing pressure=\frac {Load}{Area}

Since we're given pressure of 2500 psf and load of 45000 pounds

The area=\frac {45000}{2500}=18

Therefore, the smallest area of safe footings should not be less than 18 ft^{2}

What is flow energy? Do fluids at rest possess any flow energy?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Flow energy is defined as, flow energy is the energy needed to push fluids into control volume and it is the amount of work done required to push the entire fluid. It is also known as flow work. Flow energy is not the fundamental quantities like potential and kinetic energy.

Fluid at state of rest do not possess any flow energy. It is mostly converted into internal energy as, rising in the fluid temperature.

What is the function of a fixed resistor?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

  add resistance to a circuit

Explanation:

It depends on the design in which it is incorporated. A fixed resistor has many uses, including, but not limited to ...

  • dropping voltage
  • limiting current
  • contributing to a time delay
  • adjusting frequency response
  • eliminating (or creating) signal reflections
  • acting as a fuse
  • calibrating or trimming a response
  • providing protection against electrical shock or ESD
  • acting as a reference when measuring variable resistors
