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.

Thumbi Irrigation Scheme in Mzimba district is under threat of flooding. In order to
mitigate against the problem, authorities have decided to construct a flood protection
bund (Dyke). Figure 1 is a cross section of a 300m long proposed dyke; together with its
foundation (key). Survey data for the proposed site of the dyke are presented in Table 1.
Table 2 provides swelling and shrinkage factors for the fill material that has been
proposed. The dyke dimensions that are given are for a compacted fill.
(1) Assume you are in the design office, use both the Simpson Rule and Trapezoidal
Rule to compute the total volume of earthworks required. (Assume both the dyke
and the key will use the same material).
(2) If you are a Contractor, how many days will it take to finish hauling the computed
earthworks using 3 tippers of 12m³ each? Make appropriate assumptions.…
