A 5 m deep deposit of sand and silt containing organic layers is to be compacted using explosives placed in the boreholes locate

d 8 m apart on a square grid. It is intended to create pore pressures which are at least equal to 80% of the effective overburden pressure. Estimate how many kg of TNT have to be distributed in each borehole in order to achieve this degree of liquefaction. How much is that per cubic meter of compacted soil?

Answer:

kg of TNT = 10 kg

per cubic meter of compacted soil = 0.5%

Explanation:

Given Data

(1) Depth of sand to be compacted- 5m

(2) Explosives placed in boreholes located at 8m in square grid.

Requirement - To create atleast 80% pore pressure of the effective overburden pressure.

Upper bound value

RUG-RPP = 14 x (kg)1/3

Lower bound value        RUG-RPP = 3 x (kg)1/3

Hence, for 8m distance for upper bound value of TNT in kg, the equation can be written as

8 = 14 x (kg)1/3

Hence, . TNT weight required for this is 0.186 kg.

Hence, for 8m distance for lower bound value of TNT in kg, the equation can be written as

8 = 3 x (kg)1/3.

Hence, . TNT weight required for this is 18.96 kg.

Now, to achieve atleast 80% pore water pressure the weight of TNT required is 0.186 kg as per upper bound and 18.96 kg as per lower bound is required.

It is advised to take average of these two to achieve the required values of pore water pressure generation i.e 10 kg of TNT is required.

Considering unit weight of compacted sand as 20 kN/m3, the amount of TNT is 10 kg which is equivalent to 98.1 N. This is approximately 0.5% of the compacted soil.

(TCO 4) A system samples a sinusoid of frequency 190 Hz at a rate of 120 Hz and writes the sampled signal to its output without
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The frequency that the sampling system will generate in its output is 70 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

F = 190 Hz

Fs = 120 Hz

Output Frequency = F - nFs

When n = 1

Output Frequency = 190 - 120 = 70 Hz

Therefore, if a system samples a sinusoid of frequency 190 Hz at a rate of 120 Hz and writes the sampled signal to its output without further modification, the frequency that the sampling system will generate in its output is 70 Hz

In this exercise, you will write a Point structure that represents a space in two-dimensional space. This Point should have both
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Points to consider:

We need to take the input from the user

We need to find the manhatan distance and euclidian using the formula

(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points

Manhattan:

|x_1 - x_2| + |y_1 - y_2|

Euclidian Distance:

\sqrt{(x1 - yl)^2 + (x2 - y2)^2)}

Code

#include<stdio.h>

#include<math.h>

struct Point{

  int x, y;

};

int manhattan(Point A, Point B){

  return abs(A.x - B.x) + abs(A.y- B.y);

}

float euclidean(Point A, Point B){

  return sqrt(pow(A.x - B.x, 2) + pow(A.y - B.y, 2));

}

int main(){

  struct Point A, B;

  printf("Enter x and Y for first point: ");

  int x, y;

  scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);

  A.x = x;

  A.y = y;

  printf("Enter x and Y for second point: ");

  scanf("%d%d", &x, &y);

  B.x = x;

  B.y = y;

  printf("Manhattan Distance: %d\n", manhattan(A, B));

  printf("Euclidian Distance: %f\n", euclidean(A, B));

 

}

We can model a certain battery as a voltage source in series with a resistance. The open-circuit voltage of the battery is 10 V
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

51.4 Ohms

Explanation:

By applying voltage division rule

V_f=v_i\times \frac {R_l}{R_l+R_m} where v is voltage, subscripts i and f represnt initial and final, R is resistance, m is internal and l is external.Substituting 7V for final voltage, 10V for initial voltage and the external resistance as 120 Ohms then

7=10*\frac {120}{120+R_m}\\7R_m+840=1200\\R_m={1200-840}{7}=51.428571\approx 51.4 Ohms
