Answer:

a) 38"

b) L = 5.7'

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given

P = 9,500 lb/ft

Thick = 18"

We assume an allowable bearing pressure of σ = 3000 lb/sf

If Stress = Force / Area

σ = P/A

Solving for area

A = P/σ  ⇒  A = 9,500 lb/ft/3000 lb/sf

⇒  A = 3.167 sf,  or  3.167 ft wide, per foot of length.

⇒  A = 38" wide

We can see the pic 1 in order to understand the answer.

b) Given

P = 65,000 pounds = 65,000 lb

Thick = 18" = 1.5'

We assume an allowable bearing pressure of σ = 2000 lb/sf

If Stress = Force / Area

σ = P/A

Solving for area

A = P/σ  ⇒  A = 65,000 lb/2000 lb/sf

⇒  A = 32.5 sf

then A = L²  ⇒  L = √A = √(32.5 sf) = 5.7 ft

Finally L = 5.7'

We can see the pic 2 in order to understand the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

3.75 e + 9.50 < 25

3.75 e < 25 - 9.50 = 15.50

e < 15.50 ÷ 3.75 ≈ 4.13

e =<em> 4 pairs of earrings</em>

These symbols are called operators.

Mathematics is the science that relates everyday practices and nature to human reasoning and numerical logic.

<h3>Math Operations</h3>

The four basic math operations are present in your day-to-day life, for example: when you pay your bills. The math operations are:

  • addition - represented by symbol "+"
  • subtraction  - represented by symbol "-"
  • multiplication - represented by symbol "x"
  • division - represented by symbol "÷"

These symbols, also, are known as arithmetic operators.
