A site is underlain by a soil that has a unit weight of 118 lb/ft3. From laboratory shear strength tests that closely simulated

the field conditions, the total stress parameters were measured to be C total = 250 lb/ft2 and φ total = 29°. Estimate the shear strength on a horizontal plane at a depth of 12 ft below the ground surface at this site in lbs/ sq ft

Answer: the shear strength at a depth of 12 ft is 1034.9015 lb/ft²

Explanation:

Given that;

Weight of soil r = 118 lb/ft³

stress parameter C = 250 lb/ft²

φ total = 29°

depth Z = 12 ft

The shear strength on a horizontal plane at a depth of 12ft

ζ = C + δtanφ

where δ = normal stress

normal stress δ = r × z = 118 × 12 = 1416

so

ζ = C + δtanφ

ζ = 250 + 1416(tan29°)

ζ = 250 + 1416(tan29°)

ζ = 250 + 784.9016

ζ = 1034.9015 lb/ft²

Therefore the shear strength at a depth of 12 ft is 1034.9015 lb/ft²

With 64 KB of memory and 8 bits in each memory location, how wide should the address bus be to access all 64 KB of memory? (k =
marishachu [46]

Answer:

16-bit wide

Explanation:

In order to find the width of the address bus, we need first to know how many memory cells it is needed to address.

If the size memory is 64 KB, this means that the memory size, in bytes, is equal to the following quantity:

64 KB = 2⁶ * 2¹⁰ bytes = 2¹⁶ bytes.

In order to address this quantity of cell positions, the address bus must be able to address 2¹⁶ bytes, so it must have 16-bit wide.

2. Write a Java program that generates a new string by concatenating the reversed substrings of even indexes and odd indexes sep
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

  1. public class Main {
  2.    public static void main(String[] args) {
  3.        String testString = "abscacd";
  4.        String evenStr = "";
  5.        String oddStr = "";
  6.        for(int i=testString.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--){
  7.            if(i % 2 == 0){
  8.                evenStr += testString.charAt(i);
  9.            }
  10.            else{
  11.                oddStr += testString.charAt(i);
  12.            }
  13.        }
  14.        System.out.println(evenStr + oddStr);
  15.    }
  16. }

Explanation:

Firstly, let declare a variable testString to hold an input string "abscacd" (Line 1).

Next create another two String variable, evenStr and oddStr and initialize them with empty string (Line 5-6). These two variables will be used to hold the string at even index and odd index, respectively.

Next, we create a for loop that traverse the characters of the input string from the back by setting initial position index i to  testString.length() - 1  (Line 8). Within the for-loop, create if and else block to check if the current index, i is divisible by 2, (i % 2 == 0), use the current i to get the character of the testString and join it with evenStr. Otherwise, join it with oddStr (Line 10 -14).

At last, we print the concatenated evenStr and oddStr (Line 18).

Natali [406]

Answer:

Sarah is asking each department head how long they can be without their primary system. Sarah is trying to determine the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) as this is the duration of time within which the primary system must be restored after the disruption.

Recovery Point Objective is basically to determine the age of restoration or recovery point.

Business recovery and technical recovery requirements are to assess the requirements to recover by Business or technically.

Hence, Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the correct answer.

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

How are speed and acceleration related
erica [24]
R = distance

dr/dt speed or with a direction, velocity

d(dr/dt)/dt = the time derivative of the velocity is called acceleration.

Speed is a scalar. Acceleration is a vector.
