Explanation of Solution

The three important areas of home are living room, bedroom and dining room.

Living room

It consists of the living, nook areas, dining, family and den areas. These are the rooms or areas of a house where friends and family will spend most of their leisure time. The rooms in the living area should be clustered together near the entry to allow easy access for guests. Points to consider during planning the living room include how often the room will be used, how many people are going to use it. The type and size of the furniture that will be placed in the living room. Some families use the living room as a place for quiet conversation and depend on other living areas for noisier activities.

Bedroom:

The arrangement of bedrooms greatly varies depending on the family's needs. Common arrangements include placing the master bedroom separate from the bedrooms, for children or placing all the bedrooms together. It is also common in custom homes to plan a bedroom living unit for long term care of live-in relatives. Bedrooms are normally located with access from a hallway for privacy from living areas and should be near to the bathrooms.

Dining room:

Dining areas, depending on the size and atmosphere of the residence. The dining area is often part of or adjoins, the living area. For a more formal eating environment, the dining area will be near but separate from the living room area. The two areas are usually adjoining so that guests may go easily from one area to the other without passing through other areas of the house. A casual dining room can be as small as 9' ×11' (2700 ×3300 mm) if it is open to another area. This size allows for a table that seats four to six people and a small storage hutch.

You are working on a 1-km highway extension project that requires the construction of a 4-m tall soil embankment with a top width of 15-m and 2H:1V slopes. A borrow-pit (i.e., a place where soils are excavated, to then be placed elsewhere for construction projects) has been identified with e = 0.74, emax = 0.9, emin = 0.5. To avoid excessive road deformations, the soil will be compacted to a relative density of DR = 90% when placed in the embankment. Your boss estimates that extracting 100,000 m^3 of material from the borrow-pit should be enough for this project. Is your boss correct, or is more material than that needed? To decide, answer these questions: a) What volume of soil, as placed, is required to build the embankment? [Tip: draw the embankment] b) What is the void ratio of the material when placed in the embankment? c) What is the relative density of the material in the borrow-pit? d) When soil is extracted from the borrow-pit and then compacted it the embankment, how do…
There are 20 cars traveling at constant speeds on a 1 mile long ring track and the cars can pass each other freely. On the track 25% of the cars are traveling at 20 mph, 50% of the cars are traveling 10 mph, and the remaining 25% of the cars are traveling at an unknown speed. It was known that the space mean speed of all the cars on the track is 20 mph. (a) What is the speed that the remaining 25% of cars are traveling at? (b) If an observer standing on the side of the track counted the number and measured the speed of all cars that passed her for one hour, what is the time-mean speed of all the cars the observer counted? (c) What is the flow rate measured by the observer? (d) What is the car density on the track? Does density times space mean speed equal flow rate?
