Suppose that a comet that was seen in 563 a. d. by chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1951. assume the time between observations is the period of the comet and take its eccentricity as 0.986. what are (a) the semimajor axis of the comet's orbit and (b) its greatest distance from the sun?

A5 foot by 5 foot box culvert is buried 6 feet beneath the surface of the ground. a crosssection of this very long culvert (into and out of the page) is illustrated below. assume that the soil in which the culvert is buried has the following properties: jt = 120 pcf, w = 12%, ko = 0.50, ka = 0.33, and kp = 3.00. calculate the total horizontal force per unit length of culvert (fh) felt on one of the vertical faces of the culvert.
