The
area of a plot is to be determined using Simpson's rule. The following
offsets were taken to a boundary from points along a chain line all
measurements being in metres 12, 15, 22, 29, 36, 38, 31, 22, 17.There
were taken at 100 m intervals.
Consider the following steps in this regard.
1. `(12 + 17)/(2)`  = 19.5
2. Sum of the odd ordinates = 22 + 36 + 1 = 89
3. Sum of the even ordinates = 15 + 29 + 38 + 22 = 104
4. 12 + 17 = 39
5. Area = 100 (19.5 + 89 + 104)
6. Area =`(100)/(3)` (39 + 2 x 89 + 4 x 104)
7. Area 100 x 19.5 (104 - 89)
The area of the plot can be determined by using the steps listed above :

At
a certain station, the mean of the average temperature is `25^circ`C and mean
of the maximum daily temperature is `40^circ`C. What is the airport reference
temperature (ART) ?

A train starts
from rest on a curved track of radius 800 m. Its speed increases
uniformly and after 3 minutes it is 72 km/hr. Its normal acceleration
after 2 minutes is

There
are ten instrument staions occupied in succession during a traverse
survey. An observer makes equal error in each station, the magnitude of
which is `delta theta` in each instance at all the stations. What is the probable
error of the final bearing at the end of the traverse ?

If `Delta` p
is increment ofpressure on a normally consolidated saturated soil mass,
as per Terzaghi's theory at the instant of application of pressure
increment i.e. when time t = 0, what is the pore pressure developed in
the soil mass ?

A shaft of diameter 'd' is subjected to bending moment 'M' and twisting moment 'T' The developed principal stress will be

A vane 20 cm
long and 10 cm in diameter was pressed into a soft marine clay at the
bottom of a bore hole. Torque was applied gradually and failure occurred
at 1000 kg cm. The cohesion of the clay in kg/cm² is :

Given that the density of earth is` omega` the angle of repose is`varphi` and h is the height of the wall and the earth retained is level, the active earth Pressure 'P' on retaining wall is given by

A thin cylindrical shell of internal diameter D is subject to an internal pressure 'p'. If `sigma_y`s the yield stress of the material of the cylinder, then based on the
maximum shear theory, the thickness of the cylinder will be (in kg/cm²) is
