A 1.5 m x1.5 m square footing is supported by a soil deposit that contains a 16.5 m thick saturated clay layer followed by the b

edrock. The clay has μs = 0.50 and Es = 5,000 kN/m2 . The footing base is at 1.5 m below the ground surface. Determine the maximum vertical central column load so that the elastic settlement of the footing will not exceed 50.0 mm. If the square footing is replaced by a 1.2 m wide wall footing with all other conditions remaining the same.
Required:
What will be the elastic settlement under the same footing pressure?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

ρ=962.16kg/m^3

Explanation:

The first thing we must do to solve is to find the mass of the specimen using the weight equation

w = mg

m=w/g

m=0.45/9.81=0.04587kg

To find the volume we must make a free-body diagram on the specimen, taking into account that the weight will go down and the buoyant force up, and the result of that subtraction will be the measured weight value (0.081N).

We must bear in mind that the principle of archimedes indicates that the buoyant force is given by

F = ρgV

where V is the specimen volume and  ρ is the density of alcohol = 789kg / m ^ 3

considering the above we have the following equation

0.081=0.45-(789)(9.81m/s^2)V

solving for V

V=(0.081-0.45)/(-789x9.81)

V=4.7673x10^-5m^3

finally we found the density

ρ=m/v

ρ=0.04587kg/4.7673x10^-5m^3

ρ=962.16kg/m^3

Why does the dead man switch kill the robots manual action when pressed to hard or released
Arturiano [62]

Answer:Why does the dead man switch kill the robot's manual actions when released or pressed to hard? This is because when something goes wrong, say that the robots hits you upside the head, your reaction is either to let go or grip the switch too tight, thus the reason these actions stop all movements
