5) A parallel series electric blasting circuit consists of 6 branches of 8 caps each. Cap legwire length is 28 ft. The cap circuit is connected by 50 ft total length of No. 16 gauge bus wire. The lead wires are No. 14 gauge 1,000 ft long one-way. Find the minimum dc current and voltage required to safely fire this blast under current leakage conditions.

Minimum DC current Ampere

Voltage V

Explanation:

Here in this questions three resistors are used in series

Resistance of cap circuit

Here is the resistance per cap

Resistance of bus wire

Where is the resistance per feet of bus wire of gauge 16

Resistance of firing line

where is the resistance per feet of bus wire of gauge 14

Total resistance is equal to

Current in firing line is equal to

Voltage is equal to product of resistance and current

answer: the rock sample is a sedimentary rock.

explanation:

it is given that:

mass of rock sample, m = 2.7 g

volume of rock sample,

so, density of rock sample will be

since, the density of rock sample is . hence, the rock sample is a sedimentary rock, whose densities varies between .

the answer would be   dignified - apex
