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}

Anni [7]

Answer:

A) 282.34 - j 12.08 Ω

B) 0.0266 + j 0.621 / unit

C)

A = 0.812 < 1.09° per unit

B =  164.6 < 85.42°Ω  

C =  2.061 * 10^-3 < 90.32° s

D =  0.812 < 1.09° per unit

Explanation:

Given data :

Z ( impedance ) = 0.03 i  + j 0.35 Ω/km

positive sequence shunt admittance ( Y ) = j4.4*10^-6 S/km

A) calculate Zc

Zc = \sqrt{\frac{z}{y} }  =  \sqrt{\frac{0.03 i  + j 0.35}{j4.4*10^-6 } }    

    = \sqrt{79837.128< 4.899^o}   =  282.6 < -2.45°

hence Zc = 282.34 - j 12.08 Ω

B) Calculate  gl

gl = \sqrt{zy} * d  

 d = 500

 z = 0.03 i  + j 0.35

 y = j4.4*10^-6 S/km

gl =  \sqrt{0.03 i  + j 0.35*  j4.4*10^-6}  * 500

   = \sqrt{1.5456*10^{-6} < 175.1^0} * 500

   = 0.622 < 87.55 °

gl = 0.0266 + j 0.621 / unit

C) exact ABCD parameters for this line

A = cos h (gl) . per unit  =  0.812 < 1.09° per unit ( as calculated )

B = Zc sin h (gl) Ω  = 164.6 < 85.42°Ω  ( as calculated )

C = 1/Zc  sin h (gl) s  =  2.061 * 10^-3 < 90.32° s ( as calculated )

D = cos h (gl) . per unit = 0.812 < 1.09° per unit ( as calculated )

where :  cos h (gl)  = \frac{e^{gl} + e^{-gl}  }{2}

             sin h (gl) = \frac{e^{gl}-e^{-gl}  }{2}

At an impaired driver checkpoint, the time required to conduct the impairment test varies (according to an exponential distribut
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Option (d) 2 min/veh

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Average time required = 60 seconds

Therefore,

The maximum capacity that can be accommodated on the system, μ = 60 veh/hr

Average Arrival rate, λ = 30 vehicles per hour

Now,

The average time spent by the vehicle is given as

⇒ \frac{1}{\mu(1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu})}

thus,

on substituting the respective values, we get

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(1-\frac{30}{60})}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(1-0.5)}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{60(0.5)}

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{30} hr/veh

or

Average time spent by the vehicle = \frac{1}{30}\times60 min/veh

[ 1 hour = 60 minutes]

thus,

Average time spent by the vehicle = 2 min/veh

Hence,

Option (d) 2 min/veh

I wish to have a computer whose machine-level instructions are all 32 bits each. If I want to have all instructions of the form
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Maximum number that can be represented by 13 bits  is 8192 Instructions

Explanation:

number of instructions = 1000

number of bits = log(1000) x number of register

                          = 6 bits

Since the complete instruction must have 32 bits, then

remaining number of bits = 32 - 6 = 236

number of registers in instruction = 2

number of bits per register = 26/2 = 13

Maximum number that can be represented by 13 bits = 2^{n}

                       = 2¹³ = 8192
