A civil engineer is performing a tensile test on a brick using a tension machine. Immediately after he adds the first weight, the brick splits into two parts. Why does this happen? A. high elastic modulus of brick B. low tensile strength of brick C. compressive stress on the brick D. shear stress on the brick E. torsion stress on the brick

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.

Burgers vector is generally parallel to the dislocation line. a)-true b)-false

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature
