The force exerted by pad footings, known as applied force...in natural fact, there is a shear force present 45deg. to the vertical of the footing. When the shear forces are projected and touch those of another footing placed on the ground, then its referred to as overlapping in which it means that in that area, the soil investigation should be carried out deeper that the usual values vertically below the proposed footings.

When you turn on a lamp and the light bulb becomes warm which energy conversion causes this heating of the light bulb?

Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.


What causes varying light bulb intensities on same circuit?

For a series circuit... Each bulb has different impedance (ohms) resulting in a different voltage drop across each. Remember Kirchoff's Current Law: The current at each point in a series circuit is the same. That same current, multiplied by the different voltage drops results in different powers (watts = amps * volts) for each bulb. For a parallel circuit. Again, each bulb still has different impedance. This time, the voltage drop is the same (Kirchoff's Voltage Law) but the current in each bulb is different. Same situation - different power in each bulb.

Watt is the current allowed to flow through a bulb?

The current flowing through a bulb is equal to the (voltage across the bulb) divided by the (bulb resistance), and can be expressed in Amperes. The rate at which the bulb dissipates energy is equal to (voltage across the bulb) times (current through the bulb), and can be expressed in watts.


What is the working principle of a spygmomanometer?

The sphygmomanometer is designed to monitor blood pressure by measuring the force of the blood in the heart where the pressure is greatest. This occurs during the contraction of the ventricles, when blood is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body (systolic pressure). The minimal force is also measured. This occurs during the period when the heart is relaxed between beats and pressure is lowest (diastolic pressure).

Why does a bulb make a bang when broken?

When a light bulb breaks, the sudden release of internal pressure causes the glass to shatter, creating a loud bang. The pressure is due to the gases inside the bulb, such as argon or nitrogen, that rapidly expand as the glass breaks.


What causes a light bulb to explode?

A light bulb can explode due to factors such as manufacturing defects, excessive voltage, or physical damage. When the bulb's components are compromised, the pressure inside the bulb can build up and cause it to shatter.


Define pressure bulb in soil mechanics?

Shape: The pressure bulb is typically depicted as a three-dimensional shape, often resembling an inverted cone or pyramid. It extends downwards from the base of the loaded area or foundation into the soil. Distribution: Within the pressure bulb, the pressure is not uniformly distributed. It is highest at the base of the loaded area and decreases with depth. The pressure distribution is influenced by factors such as the shape and size of the foundation, the load magnitude, and the properties of the soil. Depth: The depth of the pressure bulb varies depending on the characteristics of the foundation and the soil. Deeper foundations will have deeper pressure bulbs.


What are the importance of pressure bulb?

The Zone in a loaded soil mass bounded by any arbitrary isobar is known as a pressure bulb. The vertical pressure at any point on the surface of the pressure bulb is the same.

What causes a light bulb not to work?

Bad bulb, no power, no ground.


Why does bulb of a clinical thermometer break when placed in very hot water?

The bulb of a clinical thermometer breaks when placed in very hot water because the sudden increase in temperature causes the air inside the bulb to expand rapidly. This rapid expansion of air creates pressure within the bulb, leading to its breakage.


What does the principle of the wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometers state?

Evaporation causes cooling.
