A fill covering a wide area is to be placed at the surface of this profile. The fill has a total unit weight of 20 kN/m^3 and is

3 m thick. Assume that the data for the sample at 7.0 m are representative of the entire clay profile. Also assume that the clay is heavily over consolidated and that the danse sands at the surface of the profile are so stiff that they do not contribute to the settlement. Find the settlement of the surface due to compression of the clay layer

Railroad tracks made of 1025 steel are to be laid during the time of year when the temperature averages 4C (40F). Of a joint spa
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

41.5° C

Explanation:

Given data :

1025 steel

Temperature = 4°C

allowed joint space = 5.4 mm

length of rails = 11.9 m

<u>Determine the highest possible temperature </u>

coefficient of thermal expansion ( ∝ ) = 12.1 * 10^-6 /°C

Applying thermal strain ( Δl / l )  = ∝ * ΔT

                                    ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 )  = 12.1 * 10^-6 * ( T2 - 4 )

∴  ( T2 - 4 ) =  ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 ) / 12.1 * 10^-6

hence : T2 = 41.5°C

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.

A hydrauliic jack is rated at 5000 pound capacity. The area of the large piston on the jack is 4.45 Square inches. Calculate the
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

1123.6 pounds/ square inch.

Explanation:

Fluid pressure is the ratio of force or weight applied by the fluid per unit area.

i.e Fluid pressure = \frac{weight}{area}

The maximum load of the jack is obtained at its maximum capacity = 5000 pounds

Area of the large piston on the jack = 4.45 square inches

Thus,

Fluid pressure = \frac{5000}{4.45}

                        = 1123.5955

Fluid pressure = 1123.6 pounds/ square inch

Thu, the fluid pressure in the jack at maximum load is 1123.6 pounds/ square inch.

mezya [45]

Answer:

c.  Detail designation

Explanation:

the question "enlarged detail to show more information", That has a detail indicator area circle. It's usually more of a square or rectangle not a circle. Circles are good for detailing landscape.

"They also can indicate when a section of the house is being enlarged."  Sections details use that symbol but have a section indicator line. Also grid and column indicators use that symbol.

Voltage signals are generated on the output of a piezoelectric pressure transducer that is equipped with an amplifier.
Tema [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: Piezoelectric pressure transducers are equipments that helps to generate voltage through the mechanical actions such as applied pressure. Piezoelectric transducer is made up of quartz crystals which are made of silicone and oxygen formed in a crystalline structure.

Piezoelectric transducer can also be described as a Piezoelectric sensor as it helps to detect electric voltage generated through applied pressure.
