a. How wide must a wall footing be if the load is 9,500 pounds per foot of wall length, and the footing rests on a sandy gravel?

Show calculations and make a sketch. Assume that it is 18" thick. b. How large must a square column footing be to support a load of 65,000 pounds if it stands on silty gravel? Show calculations. Make a sketch of the footing, assuming that it is 18" thick. © Diane Reid

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.

The result concluded is equivalent to a single rotation transformation of the original object.

<h3>Explanation of how reflection across axis works?</h3>

When a graph is reflected along an axis, say x-axis, then that leads the graph to go just on the opposite side of the axis as if we're seeing it in a mirror.

The Compositions of Reflections Over Intersecting Lines states that if we perform a composition of two reflections over two lines that intersect.

The result concluded is equivalent to a single rotation transformation of the original object.

Zander read 13 3/4pages in 1/4 of an hour. Sydney read 43 1/3 pages in 2/3 of an hour. At these rates, would Zander or Sydney re
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

At these rates Sydney read 10 pages per hour more than Zander.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zander read 13\frac{3}{4} pages in \frac{1}{4} of an hour.

Therefore, pages read by Zander in 1 hour = \frac{\text{Total pages read}}{\text{Total time taken}}

= \frac{13\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}

= \frac{55}{4}\times \frac{4}{1}

= 55 pages per hour

Sydney read 43\frac{1}{3} pages in \frac{2}{3} of an hours.

Pages read by Sydney in 1 hour = \frac{43\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3} }

= \frac{130}{3}\times \frac{3}{2}

= 65 pages per hour

Therefore, number of pages read more by Sydney as compared to Zander,

= 65 - 55

= 10 pages per hour

At these rates Sydney read 10 pages per hour more than Zander.
