Aluminum
Aluminum siding is out of date and really has no advantages in today’s market. It dents, it’s difficult to keep clean, and it’s hard to update it once it’s installed. Aluminum siding is not recommended, and most professional contractors won’t even install it.

Vinyl
Today’s mainstream siding material is vinyl. It is the most economical type of siding, coming in at $4 to $5 per square foot.

Available in a wide variety of colors, vinyl siding not only protects your home, it can make a statement. You can choose from whites, ivories, grays, browns, reds, greens and even blues — there’s a color for everyone.

In addition, vinyl is a complete self-flushing water-exclusion system. It is made to be water repellent and durable in any kind of weather. Its lightweight footprint makes it easy to install, which minimizes expenses.

Vinyl is low-maintenance and requires only periodic cleaning with a power washer every few years – more if you want it to really shine.

Premium vinyl
A step up from regular vinyl, premium vinyl gives you a more wood-like appearance. It’s usually a thicker vinyl that looks more rigid because it has no oil canning, as lighter vinyl does.

The upgrade to premium gives you more strength and longer lifespan. Many premium vinyl sidings also have integrated insulation or r-values (insulation grade) of 5 to 6.

Premium vinyl cost is generally higher than vinyl, at around $7 to 8 per square foot. Premium vinyl also comes in a rainbow of colors for customization and personalization

Natural wood
Wood siding provides a more rustic look for your home, with a more customized result.

The siding can be in long horizontal pieces or it can be shaped to suit your individual design needs. That’s the beauty of wood. You may want the look of clapboard – overlapping pieces of wood installed horizontally – or shingles – smaller pieces of wood overlapping like a shingled roof. Wood siding is a good choice for this façade.

Fiber cement siding
Finally, you may hear about fiber cement siding. Today’s version is a combination of wood pulp, cement, clay and sand. It can be made to look like wood siding, and it is installed and wears much like wood siding.

This is different from the fiber cement siding that was used in homes built prior to the late 1980s. Those older sidings contain asbestos, and any work with them should be done by a specialized asbestos-removal professional. Today’s fiber cement siding is safer and longer-lasting, if you’re willing to pay the price.

Fiber cement siding can be ordered pre-colored, eliminating the need to paint the siding. If you prefer to paint it, that is still an option, because the material does accept paint rather easily. Fiber cement siding requires a periodic recaulk of butt joints at trim terminations, which is a little more maintenance than a vinyl siding.

When to replace siding
When should you replace your siding? It should be replaced if it has any kind of water damage, mold or rotting. If it hasn’t been properly maintained, it might be time for new siding. And, of course, if you simply want a new look, new siding can be a side show for the neighborhood.

If it is desired to lay off a distance of 10,000' with a total error of no more than ± 0.30 ft. If a 100' tape is used and the
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

± 0.003 ft

Explanation:

Since our distance is 10,000 ft and we need to use a full tape measure of 100 ft. We find that 10,000 = 100 × 100.

Let L' = our distance and L = our tape measure

So, L' = 100L

Now by error determination ΔL' = 100ΔL

Now ΔL' = ± 0.30 ft

ΔL = ΔL'/100

= ± 0.30 ft/100

= ± 0.003 ft

So, the maxim error per tape is ± 0.003 ft

Paint can shaker mechanisms are common in paint and hardware stores. While they do a good job of mixing the paint, they are also
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A good design for a portable device to mix paint minimizing the shaking forces and vibrations while still effectively mixing the paint. Is:

The best design is one with centripetal movement. Instead of vertical or horizontal movement. With a container and system of holding structures made of materials that could absorb the vibration effectively.

Explanation:

First of all centripetal movement would be friendlier to our objective as it would not shake the can or the machine itself with disruptive vibrations. Also, we would have to use materials with a good grade of force absorption to eradicate the transmission of the movement to the rest of the structure. Allowing the reduction of the shaking forces while maintaining it effective in the process of mixing.

Two steel plates are to be held together by means of 16-mm-diameter high-strength steel bolts fitting snugly inside cylindrical
dusya [7]

Answer:

The outer diameter of the spacers that yields the most economical and safe design is 25.03 mm

Explanation:

For steel bolt

Stress = 210 MPa or 210 N/mm2

Pressure = Stress* Area

Pbolt = 210 N/mm2 * 16^2 *(pi)/4

Pbolt = 210 N/mm2 * 200.96 mm^2 = 42201.6  N

For Brass spacer

Pressure = 42201.6  N

Area of Brass spacer = Pressure/Stress

Area of Brass spacer = 42201.6  N/145 N/mm^2 = 291.044 mm^2

Area of Brass spacer = (pi) (d^2 - 16^2)/4 =  291.044 mm^2

d^2 - 16^2 = 291.044 mm^2* 4/(pi) = 370.758

d^2 =  370.758 + 16^2

d^2 =   626.758

d = 25.03 mm

The outer diameter of the spacers that yields the most economical and safe design is 25.03 mm

Identify an object in your house that contains a physical system and list three questions you could use to define the system
jonny [76]

Answer:

ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love
