In parts a and b what happens to the light that doesn't pass through either the plastic or waxed paper? what is similiar and different about the behavior of the light in these two cases?

Use the profile illustrated for problem (1). assume that the layer of silty sand fill (sm) is placed over the entire site. estimate the thickness of the fill (h - in feet) that will cause the effective vertical stress at the center of the clay layer to increase by 517.5 pounds per square foot.

A200-n force is applied to the foot-operated air pump. the return spring s exerts a 2.6-n·m moment on member oba for this position. determine the corresponding compression force c in the cylinder bd. if the diameter of the piston in the cylinder is 40 mm, estimate the air pressure generated for these conditions. state any assumptions. enter a positive number for the compression force c.

What accounts for an increase in the temperature of a gas that is kept at constant volume? a. energy has been removed as heat from the gas. b. energy has been added as heat to the gas. c. energy has been removed as work done by the gas. d. energy has been added as work done by the gas.
