Answer:
a) P ≥ 22.164 Kips
b) Q = 5.4 Kips
Explanation:
GIven
W = 18 Kips
μ₁ = 0.30
μ₂ = 0.60
a) P = ?
We get F₁ and F₂ as follows:
F₁ = μ₁*W = 0.30*18 Kips = 5.4 Kips
F₂ = μ₂*Nef = 0.6*Nef
Then, we apply
∑Fy = 0 (+↑)
Nef*Cos 12º - F₂*Sin 12º = W
⇒ Nef*Cos 12º - (0.6*Nef)*Sin 12º = 18
⇒ Nef = 21.09 Kips
Wedge moves if
P ≥ F₁ + F₂*Cos 12º + Nef*Sin 12º
⇒ P ≥ 5.4 Kips + 0.6*21.09 Kips*Cos 12º + 21.09 Kips*Sin 12º
⇒ P ≥ 22.164 Kips
b) For the static equilibrium of base plate
Q = F₁ = 5.4 Kips
We can see the pic shown in order to understand the question.
The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc
<u>Explanation</u>:
a) Apparent specific gravity = 
Where,
A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g
B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g
C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g
apparent specific gravity =
= 
Apparent specific gravity = 2.88
b) Bulk specific gravity 

= 2.76
c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):


= 2.80
d) Absorption% :


Absorption = 1.44 %
e) Bulk Volume :


= 
Answer:
Depending on how new your vehicle is, to me it looks like some sort of turn on button for forward collision safety feature, but i'm not an expert with this particular vehicle. If you want a better answer, I strongly suggest looking at the owner's manual under which should be located in the front dash compartment on the passengers side. Once you have the manual, look in the appendix until you find controls (or something similar) then go to that page and read about your vehicles control buttons. Your answer should be in the manual.
Something that all automobile owners should do right after purchasing a new vehicle, is reading the owners manual. As boring as it may seem, reading the owner's manual will help you get used to your new car quicker and give you instructions on how to take care of your car so that it lasts.
Have a great day, and I wish you safe traveling for now and forever! :)
Answer:

Explanation:
The water enters to the pump as saturated liquid and equation is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:




The boiler heats the water to the state of saturated vapor, whose specific enthalpy is:

The rate of heat transfer in the boiler is:
