Indicate appropriate brick and mortar selections for each of the following situations by mentioning the minimum brick strength grade, its appearance type and the necessary mortar type. a. Little Rock, Arkansas: Exterior load bearing walls for a 17-story dormitory with a highly-regular and smooth appearance.
b. Palm Springs, California: Brick retaining wall with a very rough texture.
c. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada: Veneer wall inside a shopping mall, with a "hand-made brick" look.

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

What is a monomer? how do they form a ploymer from the view point of chemical bonding?

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
