Chapter 18, Problem 4P

In Chapter 12, we explained that the electric power consumption of various electrical components can be determined using the following power formula: P = VI = RI2 where P is power in watts, V is the voltage, I is the current in amps, and R is the resistance of the component in ohms.

Plot the power consumption of an electrical component with a resistance of 145 ohms. Vary the value of the current from zero to 4 amps. Discuss and plot the change in power consumption as the function of current drawn through the component.

Thank you!.   Question 1:  A cylindrical soil sample is connected to two water reservoirs: a) Determine the pressure, elevation, and total head at a point one meter above the bottom of the sample (point A). b) Calculate the pore pressure and effective stress at point A if the soil has a saturated unit weight of 18.7kN/m^3. c) Determine the water flow rate though the sample if the soil has a coefficient of permeability of 0.19 cm/s and the radius of the sample is 20 mm. d) Is it possible for the soil to reach the “quick condition”(zero effective stress) by raising the level of the water in the upper reservoir? Why or why not?. Question…
