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

Two resistors, A and B, individually connect to a 9V battery. A student notices that resistor A is warmer than resistor B. Which
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Resistor B

Explanation:

Since resistance is the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit,

first let assume the two resistors are connected in parallel to the voltage, recall that when connection is in parallel, the different amount of current pass through the resistors depending on the value with the small resistor having  a lower resistance effect hence higher current will pass through

The energy dissipated in each resistor can be calculated as

E=\frac{1}{2}IR^{2}t.

from the formula we can conclude that the energy value will be higher for the resistor with small resistance value. hence more heating effect which will cause it to be warm.

Also when connected individually the current flow from the voltage source will pass through the resistor which when we calculate the energy dissipated, the resistor with smaller value will be higher because it will draw more current which will in turn lead to a heating effect and cause the resistor to be warm. Hence we can conclude that the resistance B has greatest resistance value.

Suppose that the material to be used in a fuse melts when the current density rises to 459 A/cm2. What diameter of cylindrical w
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The required diameter of the fuse wire should be 0.0383 cm  to limit the current to 0.53 A with current density of 459 A/cm² .

Explanation:

We are given current density of 459 A/cm²  and we want to limit the current to 0.53 A in a fuse wire. We are asked to find the corresponding diameter of the fuse wire.

Recall that current density is given by

j = I/A

where I is the current flowing through the wire and A is the area of the wire

A = πr²

but r = d/2  so

A = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

so the equation of current density becomes

j = I/πd²/4

j = 4I/πd²

Re-arrange the equation for d

d² = 4I/jπ  

d = √4I/jπ

d = √(4*0.53)/(459π)

d = 0.0383 cm

Therefore, the required diameter of the fuse wire should be 0.0383 cm  to limit the current to 0.53 A with current density of 459 A/cm² .

From the isometric view orientation resource, what are the four typical characteristics of a front view?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

From an isometric view orientation resource, the four (4) typical characteristics of a front view include the following:

  1. The front view graphically shows the length and height of an object
  2. The front view has the least amount of hidden lines.
  3. The front view must be chosen first.
  4. The front view's orientation influences the other views.

<h3>What is an isometric sketch?</h3>

An isometric sketch is also referred to as an isometric drawing and it can be defined as a graphical (pictorial) representation of a physical object in technical and engineering drawings, especially by drawing all its three dimensions (3D) at full scale.

<h3>The five characteristics of isometric sketches.</h3>

In technical and engineering drawings, the five (5) characteristics of isometric sketches include the following:

  1. The final image isn't distorted.
  2. The image is in three dimensions (3D).
  3. The final image is drawn to full scale.
  4. The image are all uniformly foreshortened.
  5. They are drawn using vertical lines and horizontal lines.
