A 2.5 m wide rough continuous foundation is placed in the ground at 1 m depth. There is bedrock present at 1 m depth below the b

ottom of the foundation. The soil properties are c9 5 10.0 kN/m2 , f9 5 258, and g 5 18.0 kN/m3 . Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation.

Answer:

45.873 KN/mL is the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation.

Explanation:

C' = 10.0 kN/m², Ф' = 25, r = 18 kN/m²

ration of Df/B ≤ 1 , Df ≤ B (1 ≤ 2.5m)

It is a shallow foundation

∴ Ultimate bearing Capacity

qu = C' $N_c$ + r $D_F$ . $N_q$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ Br $N_r$

NФ = tan²(45 + Ф/2)

= tan²(45 - 25/2)

= 0.41

Nq = NФ×e^(πtanФ') = 0.41e^(πtan25)

= 1.756

Nr = 1.8tanФ(Nq - 1) = 1.8tan25(1.756 - 1)

= 0.634

Nc = 1.621

putting the above values in equation.

qu = 45.873 KN/mL

what is an example of an innovative solution to an engineering problem? Explain briefly why you chose this answer.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

robotic technology

Explanation:

Innovation is nothing but the use of various things such as ideas, products, people to build up a solution for the benefit of the human. It can be any product or any solution which is new and can solve people's problems.

Innovation solution makes use of technology to provide and dispatch new solutions or services which is a combination of both technology and ideas.

One such example of an innovative solution we can see is the use of "Robots" in medical science or in any military operations or rescue operation.

Sometimes it is difficult for humans to do everything or go to everywhere. Thus scientist and engineers have developed many advance robots or machines using new ideas and technology to find solutions to these problems.

Using innovations and technologies, one can find solutions to many problems which is difficult for the peoples. Robots can be used in any surveillance operation or in places of radioactive surrounding where there is a danger of humans to get exposed to such threats. They are also used in medical sciences to operate and support the patient.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Go to explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

In order to determine the lifetime (75 years) chronic daily exposure for each individual, we have to first state the terms of our equation:

CDI = Chronic Daily Intake

C= Chemical concentration

CR= Contact Rate

EFD= Exposure Frequency and Distribution

BW= Body Weight

AT = Average Time.

Having names our variables lets create the equations that will be used to derive our answers.

In order to fill a tank of 1000 liter volume to a pressure of 10 atm at 298K, an 11.5Kg of the gas is required. How many moles o

lesya [120]

Answer:

The molecular weight will be "28.12 g/mol".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Pressure,

P = 10 atm

= $10\times 101325 \ Pa$

= $1013250 \ Pa$

Temperature,

T = 298 K

Mass,

m = 11.5 Kg

Volume,

V = 1000 r

= $1 \ m^3$

R = 8.3145 J/mol K

Now,

By using the ideal gas law, we get

⇒ $PV=nRT$

o,

⇒ $n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

By substituting the values, we get

$=\frac{1013250\times 1}{8.3145\times 298}$

$=408.94 \ moles$

As we know,

⇒ $Moles(n)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molecular \ weight(MW)}$

or,

⇒ $MW=\frac{m}{n}$

$=\frac{11.5}{408.94}$

$=0.02812 \ Kg/mol$

$=28.12 \ g/mol$

It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calc

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength $(\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa$ , Fracture strength

$(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa$

a) The critical length ( $L_c$ ) is given by:

$L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm$

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

$\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}} \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456$

Gold forms a substitutional solid solution with silver. Compute the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeter for a silver-gold

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Compute the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeter = 9.052 x 10^21 atoms/cm3

Explanation:

The step by step and appropriate substitution is as shown in the attachment.

From number of moles = Concentration x volume

number of moles = number of particles/ Avogadro's number

Volume = mass/density, the appropriate derivation to get the number of moles of atoms
