Answer:

(a) 23

(b)-0.13

(c) In which consistency state was the in situ soil? Plastic limit = 1.1

Explanation:

(a) Compute the plasticity index of the soil.

The formula for plasticity index is given as

Plasticity Index = Liquid limit - Plastic limit

Liquid limit = 44

Plastic limit = 21

Plastics Index = 44 - 21

= 23

(b) Calculate the liquidity index of the in situ soil.

Liquidity Index = Water content - Plastic limit/Liquid limit - Plastic Limit

Water content = 18%

Plastic limit = 21

Liquid limit = 44

Liquidity Index =18 -21/44 - 21

- 3/23

= -0.1304347826

≈ -0.13

(c) In which consistency state was the in situ soil

The consistency state of a soil tells us how firm the soil is.

Consistency state/index = Liquid limit - Water content/ Plastic Index

= Liquid limit - Water content /Liquid limit - Plastic Limit

Water content of the in situ soil = 18%

=44 - 18/44 - 23

= 26/23

= 1.1304347826

= 1.1

Since the consistency index of this situ soil is above 1, it means the soil is at plastic limit.

Some cars have an FCW, which stands for
Natalka [10]

Answer:

FCW in car stands for <em>Forward Collision Warning. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The vehicle speed is monitored by <em>FCW system</em>, this is an advanced technology which indicates to the rear vehicle that a crash is going to happen if the vehicle gets close <em>because of speed</em>. This FCW systems monitor’s distance between the vehicles and speed of the vehicles.

<em>FCW system do not control the vehicle completely</em>. This system consists of sensors to detect stationary or slower-moving vehicles. A signal alerts the driver if the <em>distance between the vehicles is less</em> so that crash is being happened. It helps driver from crash by changing his route. Cars with this technology consists of audible alert.

The statement that is NOT true about the concept of a boundary layer on an object is: a. the Reynolds number is greater than uni
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

All the given statements are true except the velocity gradients normal to the flow direction are small since these are not normally small. It's true that viscous effects are present only inside the boundary layer and the fluid velocity equals the free stream velocity at the edge of the boundary layer. Moreover, Reynolds number is greater than unity and the fluid velocity is zero at the surface of the object.

The underground cafe has an operating cash flow of $187,000 and a cash flow to creditors of $71,400 for the past year. During th
Serggg [28]

Answer:

cash flow to stockholders = $39,700

Explanation:

Operating cash flow = $187,000

cash flow to creditors = $71,400

Net working capital = $28,000

Net capital spending =  $47,900

Cash flow to stockholders = ?

CFF = operating cash flow - net working capital - net capital spending

CFF = $187,000 - $28,000 - $47,900 = $111,100

CFF = cash flow to creditors + cash flow to stockholders

cash flow to stockholders = CFF - cash flow to creditors

cash flow to stockholders = $111,100 - $71,400 = $39,700

Hence $39,700 is the amount of the cash flow to stockholders for the last year.
