Answer:

48 = C' + 80 tanФ

Explanation:

Recommendations to my coworker

a) Note that there are two unknowns, C' & Ф in the equation, so minimum of two test readings are required to have correct equation of the failure envelope.

Given reading of coworker

σn = 80 kPa

τf = 48 kPa

∴ 48 = C' + 80 tanФ

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

beam with a span length of 10 ft, a width of 8 in, and an effective depth of 20 in. Normal weight concrete is used for the beam. This beam carries a total factored load of 9.4 kips. The beam is reinforced with tensile steel, which continues uninterrupted into the support. The concrete has a strength of 4000 psi, and the yield strength of the steel is 60,000 psi. Using No. 3 bars and 60,000 psi steel for stirrups, do the followings:

The velocity of a particle which moves along the s-axis is given by = 40 − 3 2/ , ℎ t is in seconds. Calculate the displacement
scoundrel [369]

The displacement ∆S of the particle during the interval from t = 2sec to 4sec is; 210 sec

<h3>How to find the displacement?</h3>

We are given the velocity equation as;

s' = 40 - 3t²

Thus, the speed equation will be gotten by integration of the velocity equation to get;

s = ∫40 - 3t²

s = 40t - ¹/₂t³

Thus, the displacement between times of t = 2 sec and t = 4 sec is;

∆S = [40(4) - ¹/₂(4)³] - [40(2) - ¹/₂(2)³]

∆S = 210 m

A cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 0.6 W of power. The resistor is 1.5 cm long, and has a diameter of
Burka [1]

Answer:

a. 51.84Kj

b. 2808.99 W/m^2

c. 11.75%

Explanation:

Amount of heat this resistor dissipates during a 24-hour period

= amount of power dissipated * time

= 0.6 * 24 = 14.4 Watt hour

(Note 3.6Watt hour = 1Kj )

=14.4*3.6 = 51.84Kj

Heat flux = amount of power dissipated/ surface area

surface area = area of the two circular end  + area of the curve surface

=2*\frac{\pi D^{2} }{4} + \pi DL\\=2*\frac{\pi *(\frac{0.4}{100} )^{2} }{4} + \pi *\frac{0.4}{100} *\frac{1.5}{100}

= 2.136 *10^-4 m^{2}

Heat flux =\frac{0.6}{2.136 * 10^{-4} } = 2808.99 W/m^{2}

fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surface

=\frac{\frac{2*\pi D^{2} }{4} }{\frac{2*\pi D^{2}}{4} + \pi DL } \\\\=\\\frac{\frac{2*\pi *(\frac{0.4}{100} )^{2} }{4} }{\frac{2*\pi *(\frac{0.4}{100}  )^{2} }{4} +\pi *\frac{0.4}{100} *\frac{1.5}{100} } \\\\=\frac{2.51*10^{-5} }{2.136*10^{-4} } \\\\\= 0.1175

=11.75%
