Answer:

a) FALSE: the opportunity cost of an activity is the total value of all of the alternatives passed up

b) FALSE: OC is a subjective measure of cost - only the individual can estimate the expected costs/benefits himself

c) FALSE: Info is only gathered if the expected benefits from gatherings info exceeds the costs of getting the expected costs - people normally make choices based on limited and incorrect info because of convenience

d) TRUE: you can guess you will enjoy a movie and then find it too violent for your tastes

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is commonly known as the alternative option to a particular activity. It is necessary to collect as many vital information as possible. It is important to collect information for business purpose and personal reasons. A movie can be interesting and at the same time, contains horror violent scenes.

The cube measures 3.0-ft on all sides and has a density of 3.1 slugs/ft3. How much does it weigh?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

W = 2695.14 lb

Explanation:

given,

side of cube = 3 ft

density of the cube = 3.1 slugs/ft³

we know,

density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

mass = density x volume

volume = 3³ = 27 ft³

mass =  3.1  x 27

    m = 83.7 slugs.

weight calculation

converting mass from slug to pound

weight of 1 slug is equal to 32.2 lb

now,

weight of the cube is equal to

  W = 83.7 slugs x 32.2 lb/slug

  W = 2695.14 lb

hence, weight is equal to W = 2695.14 lb

A 650-kN column load is supported on a 1.5 m square, 0.5 m deep spread footing. The soil below is a well-graded, normally consol
insens350 [35]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Determine the weight of footing

W_{f}=\gamma(L)(B)(D)

Where W_{f} is the weight of footing, γ is the unit weight of concrete,  L is the length of footing is the width of footing, and D is the depth of footing

Substitute 2 m \text { for } L, 1.5 m \text { for } B, 0.5 m \text { for } D \text { and } 23.6 kN / m ^{3} for γ in the equation

\begin{aligned}W_{f} &=\left(23.6 kN / m ^{3}\right)(2 m )(1.5 m )(0.5 m ) \\&=35.4 kN\end{aligned}

Therefore, the weight of the footing is 35.4 kN

Determine the initial vertical effective stress.

\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}=\gamma(D+B)-u

Here,   \sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime} is initial vertical stress at a depth below ground surface  γ is the unit weight of soil, D is depth and u is pore water pressure.

Substitute 18 kN / m ^{3} \text { for } \gamma, 1.5 m \text { for } B, 0.5 m \text { for } D \text { and } 0 for u in the equation

\begin{aligned}\sigma_{z p}^{\prime} &=\left(18 kN / m ^{3}\right)(1.5+0.5) m -0 \\&=36 kPa\end{aligned}

Therefore, the initial vertical stress is 36 kPa

Determine the vertical effective stress.

\sigma_{z D}^{\prime}=\gamma D

Here,   \sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime} is initial vertical stress at a depth below ground surface  γ is the unit weight of soil, D is depth and u is pore water pressure.

Substitute \(18 kN / m ^{3}\) for \(\gamma, 0.5 m\) for \(D\) and 0 for \(u\) in the equation.

\begin{aligned}\sigma_{z b}^{\prime} &=\left(18 kN / m ^{3}\right)(0.5 m )-0 \\&=9 kPa\end{aligned}

Therefore, the vertical stress at a depth below the ground surface is

9 kPa

Determine the influence factor at the midpoint of soil layer,

I_{e p}=0.5+0.1 \sqrt{\frac{q-\sigma_{s 0}^{\prime}}{\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}}}

Here I_{e p} is the influence factor at the midpoint of soil layer  \sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime} is initial vertical stress, \sigma_{z^{p}}^{\prime} is vertical effective stress, and Q is bearing pressure

Substitute 36 kPa for \(\sigma_{z p}^{\prime}, 228.47\) kPa for \(q,\) and 9 kPa for \(\sigma_{z D}^{\prime}\) in the equation\begin{aligned}I_{\epsilon P} &=0.5+0.1 \sqrt{\frac{228.47 kPa -9 kPa }{36 kPa }} \\&=0.75\end{aligned}

Therefore the influence factor at the midpoint of the soil layer is 0.693
