A 18-ft thick clay layer in the field (drained on one side) is normally consolidated. When the pressure is increase from 0.75 to

n/ft^2 to 1.5 ton/ft^2, the void ratio decreases from 1.12 to 0.98. The hydraulic conductivity, k, of the clay during the above loading range was found to be 4.3 times 10^-7 cm/sec. a. How long (in days) will it take for the clay layer to reach 70% reach 70% consolidation? b. What is the settlement at that time (that is, at 70% consolidation)?

Answer:

a) 294.34 days

b) Δh = 25.361 cm

Explanation:

Given data:

Thickness of clay layer = 18 ft

initial pressure = 0.75 ton/ft^2

final pressure = 1.5 ton/ft^2

Δp = 0.75 ton/ft^2

eo = 1.12

e1 = 0.98

k = 4.3 * 10^-7 cm/sec

A ) determine how long it will take to reach 70% consolidation

attached below is the detailed solution

T( time in days ) = 294.34 days

B) determine settlement at 70%

attached below is the detailed solution

Δh = 25.361 cm

Consider a N-channel enhancement MOSFET with VGS = 3V, Vt = 1 V, VDS = 10 V, and lambda =0 (channel length modulation parameter)
AveGali [126]

The current IDS is greater than 0 since the VGS has induced an inversion layer and the transistor is operating in the saturation region.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Since V_{ds} > V_{gs} - Vt because V_{gs} > Vt.
  • By the saturation region the MOSFET is operating.
  • A specific source voltage and gate of NMOS, the voltage get drained during the specific level, the drain voltage is rises beyond where there is no effect of current during saturated region.
  • MOSFET is a transistor which is a device of semiconductor vastly used for the electronic amplifying signals and switching in the devices of electronics.
  • The core of this is integrated circuit.
  • It is fabricated and designed in an individual chips due to tiny sizes.

P10.12. A certain amplifier has an open-circuit voltage gain of unity, an input resistance of and an output resistance of The si
klio [65]

complete question

A certain amplifier has an open-circuit voltage gain of unity, an input resistance of 1 \mathrm{M} \Omega1MΩ and an output resistance of 100 \Omega100Ω The signal source has an internal voltage of 5 V rms and an internal resistance of 100 \mathrm{k} \Omega.100kΩ. The load resistance is 50 \Omega.50Ω. If the signal source is connected to the amplifier input terminals and the load is connected to the output terminals, find the voltage across the load and the power delivered to the load. Next, consider connecting the load directly across the signal source without the amplifier, and again find the load voltage and power. Compare the results. What do you conclude about the usefulness of a unity-gain amplifier in delivering signal power to a load?

Answer:

3.03 V  0.184 W

2.499 mV  125*10^-9 W

Explanation:

First, apply voltage-divider principle to the input circuit: 1

V_{i}= (R_i/R_i+R_s) *V_s = 10^6/10^6+(0.1*10^6)\\*5

    = 4.545 V

The voltage produced by the voltage-controlled source is:

A_voc*V_i = 4.545 V

We can find voltage across the load, again by using voltage-divider principle:  

V_o = A_voc*V_i*(R_o/R_l+R_o)

      = 4.545*(100/100+50)

      = 3.03 V  

Now we can determine delivered power:  

P_L = V_o^2/R_L

      = 0.184 W

Apply voltage-divider principle to the circuit:  

V_o = (R_o/R_o+R_s)*V_s

       = 50/50+100*10^3*5

       = 2.499 mV

Now we can determine delivered power:  

P_l = V_o^2/R_l

     = 125*10^-9 W

Delivered power to the load is significantly higher in case when we used amplifier, so a unity gain amplifier can be useful in situation when we want to deliver more power to the load. It is the same case with the voltage, no matter that we used amplifier with voltage open-circuit gain of unity.

There are two types of cellular phones, handheld phones (H) that you carry and mobile phones (M) that are mounted in vehicles. P
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

A) P(W) = 0.5

B) P(MF) = 0.3

C) P(H) = 0.6

Explanation:

We are told that there are two types of cellular phones which are handheld phones (H) that you carry and mobile phones (M) that are mounted in vehicles.

Also, Phone calls can be classified by the traveling speed of the user as fast (F) or slow (W).

Thus, the sample space is combination of types and classification we are given and it is written as;

S = {HF, HW, MF, MW}

A) Now, phones can either be fast(F) or slow(W). Thus, we can write;

P(F) + P(W) = 1

We are given P(F) = 0.5

Thus;

0.5 + P(W) = 1

P(W) = 1 - 0.5

P(W) = 0.5

B) Now, from the problem statement, a phone call can either be made with a handheld(H) or mobile(M). Thus the sample space partition is {H, M} and we can express as;

P(H ∩ F) + P(M ∩ F) = P(F)

We are given P[F] = 0.5 and P[HF] = 0.2.

P(H ∩ F) is same as P[HF]

Also, P(M ∩ F) is same as P(MF)

Thus;

0.2 + P(MF) = 0.5

P(MF) = 0.5 - 0.2

P(MF) = 0.3

C) Similarly, mobile Phone calls can either be fast or slow. It means the sample space partition is {F, W}

Thus;

P(M) = P(MW) + P(MF)

P(M) = 0.1 + 0.3

P(M) = 0.4

Now, since cellular phones can either be handheld(H) or Mobile(M), then we can say;

P(H) + P(M) = 1

P(H) + 0.4 = 1

P(H) = 1 - 0.4

P(H) = 0.6
