Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1GST
To determine
The three possible theories and their explanation according to the given scenario.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1GST
The three possible theories and their explanation according to the given scenario are the power cut in the particular room, power outage in the area or the non-working sources of light.
Explanation of Solution
The given scenario is that- A light was switched on in a dark room and light did not lit. According to the given scenario, the three least possible theories are as follows:
- The electricity in the particular room might have been disconnected. This can be resolved by checking the power connections and circuit breaks in the house.
- There may be a local power outage. This possibility can be determined by checking the general power outage in that particular house, area or street.
- The source of light such as tubes and bulbs may no longer be working or turned out. This can be determined by the replacing the sources with new ones.

Calculate the elevation of the water table at each well location and write the approximate elevation on the line next to each well. Next, use a colored pencil to draw smooth 10-foot contours that show the shape of the water table. (Start with the 1160-foot contour.) Use a pencil of a different color to draw arrows on the map to indicate the direction of the slope of the water table. a. Toward which direction (downward) does the water table slope? b. Referring to the site of the proposed water well, at approximately what depth below the surface should the proposed well intersect the water table? 2. Assume that a dye was put into well A on May 10, 2017, and detected in well B on May 25, 2018. What was the rate of groundwater movement between the two wells, in centimeters per day?
