A series of three direct shear tests has been conducted on a certain saturated soil. Each test was performed on a 2.375-inch dia

meter, 1.00-inch tall sample. The results of these tests are as follows:
Test Number Normal Stress Shear Stress
1 2435 1656
2 4870 3571
3 7305 4578

Answer:

Go to explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

Angle of friction (friction angle) is a measure of the ability of a unit of rock or soil to withstand a shear stress. It is the angle (φ), measured between the normal force (N) and resultant force (R), that is attained when failure just occurs in response to a shearing stress (S).

The cohesion intercept is a used when we want to describe the shear strength soils. The definition is mainly derived from the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and it is used to describe the non-frictional part of the shear resistance which is independent of the normal stress.

Please check attachment to Determine the friction angle and cohesion intercept.

The first thing you should do is develop a ____________________ to determine what vehicle you can afford.
swat32

The first thing you should do is develop a <u>budget</u> to determine what vehicle you can afford.

<h3>What is an automobile?</h3>

An automobile is also referred to as a vehicle, car or motorcar and it can be defined as a four-wheeled vehicle that is designed and developed to be propelled by an internal-combustion (gasoline) engine, especially for the purpose of transportation from one location to another.

<h3>What is a budget?</h3>

A budget can be defined as a financial plan that is typically used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, business organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year.

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the first thing anyone should do is to develop a <u>budget</u> in order to determine what vehicle they can afford.

A piece of aluminum wire is 500 ft long and has a diameter of 0.03 inches. What is the resistance of the piece of wire?​
dexar [7]

Answer:

8.85 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is:

R = ρL/A

where ρ is resistivity of the material,

L is the length of the wire,

and A is the cross sectional area.

For a round wire, A = πr² = ¼πd².

For aluminum, ρ is 2.65×10⁻⁸ Ωm, or 8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft.

Given L = 500 ft and d = 0.03 in = 0.0025 ft:

R = (8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft) (500 ft) / (¼π (0.0025 ft)²)

R = 8.85 Ω
