Explain why the following scenario describes a failure of the second step in the engineering design process, “conduct background research.” Situation: Your science teacher asks your group to design a bridge over Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world. You get together and brainstorm possible types of bridges to build.

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.

Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volurge for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference

The load on a bolt consists of an axial pull of 10 kn together with a transverse shear force of 5 kn. the bolt material has a yield strength of syt syc 100 mpa. find the diameter of the bolt at factor of safety n-0.5, n 1 and n-2 using maximum shear stress theory
