Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1P
To determine
Check the whether the arrangement of the batteries are in series or parallel for Hand-held calculator (TI 85), flash light and portable radio.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The battery connection for the products as follows:
- Hand-held calculator (TI 85): The batteries in series give deep power cycle operation. TI 85 model Hand-held calculator has two batteries a series combination of four alkaline batteries and one lithium battery.
These two are parallel arrangement to connect with the input terminals of the calculator circuit.
- Flash light: The flash light employs the batteries are connection mostly in series to bring the sum of voltage applied to the light for the deep power cycle operation. The deep power cycle operation makes a single path to the charge flow.
In some cases parallel connections also preferred where longer life cycle is preferred.
- Portable radio: Portable radio is employs the series combination of batteries to sum the voltage for the input voltage level.
The arrangement of batteries is shown in Table 1.
| Product | Batteries connection |
| Hand-held calculator (TI 85) | Series or series and parallel |
| Flash light | Series or parallel |
| Portable radio | Series |
Thus, the batteries are connected for the products hand-held calculator, flashlight, and portable radio are discussed.

A six-lane concrete roadway is being designed for a metropolitan area. This
roadway will be constructed on a subgrade with an effective modulus of subgrade reaction k of 200 lb/in^3. The ESALs used for the design period is 6.0×10^6. Using the AASHTO design method, determine a suitable thickness of the concrete pavement (to the nearest 1/2 inch), provided that the working stress of the concrete to be used is 600 lb/in^2 and the modulus of elasticity is 6×10^6 lb/in^2. Assume the initial serviceability is 5.0 and the terminal serviceability is 2.0. Assume the overall standard deviation, So, is 0.35, the load transfer coefficient J as 3.2, the drainage coefficient, Cd, is 1.15, and R = 99%.

Plot the SWRC (suction vs. volumetric water content) from the van Genuchten (1980) model for the following “base-case” parameters (assume m = 1-1/nvG): alpha vG = 0.35 kPa-1, nvG = 2.2,Delta res = 0.02, and delta S = delta sat = 0.45. These values are approximately representative of a sand.Perform a sensitivity analysis on each of the base case parameters (i.e., vary each by ±10% while holding the other three constant) to determine their relative effects on the SWRC. For example, how would a change in s alter the curve if the other base case parameters stay the same? In your answer, provide 4 plots for the parametric evaluation of each parameter as well as a brief qualitative explanation for each plot (for example, when investigating the effect of alpha vG, show the base-case curve and the curves with different values of alpha vG on the same plot). Be sure that suction is plotted on a logarithmic scale. Also, discuss how theparameters of the van Genuchten SWRC model might differ…arrow_forward
- Using AutoCAD and exact measure that numberarrow_forwardA fully grouted reinforced masonry wall is to be constructed of 8-in. CMU. The wall height is 18feet. It is assumed to be simply supported. The wall is to be designed for an out-of-plane seismicload of 52 lbs./ft.2, which can act in either direction. The wall also supports a roof dead load of600 lbs./ft. and a roof live load of 300 lbs./ft. along the wall length. The roof loads have aneccentricity of 2.5 inches. Since there is seismic load, load combinations (6) and (7) in Chapter 2of ASCE 7-22 should be considered. In these two load combinations,horizontal seismic loadhE =andvertical seismic loadvE = .
