The military, police, and prison system
Religion, education, and media — institutions that reproduce ruling-class ideology by securing the voluntary consent of the dominated✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

In 'Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses' (1970), Althusser distinguishes between Repressive State Apparatuses (army, police, prisons — which operate through force) and Ideological State Apparatuses (religion, education, family, media, political parties — which operate through ideology, securing consent). Education was, for Althusser, the dominant ISA in capitalist societies.

Civil Engineering QUESTION #2127

Question 2570

Manning's equation for open channel flow is $V = \dfrac{1}{n} R^{2/3} S^{1/2}$. The Manning's roughness coefficient $n$ for a clean, straight natural river channel is approximately in the range:

0.008–0.010
0.011–0.014
0.025–0.035✔️
0.050–0.080

Correct Answer Logic:

Manning's $n$ values: smooth concrete 0.011–0.013; clean, straight natural channel 0.025–0.033; winding natural channel with some pools 0.035–0.050; very weedy/brushy channels 0.075–0.150. A clean, straight natural river typically has $n \approx 0.025–0.035$. These values are critical for flood routing, channel design, and backwater curve computations in hydraulic engineering.

Electrical Engineering QUESTION #2172

Question 2577

For a silicon PN junction at $T=300\,\text{K}$ with $N_A = 10^{17}\,\text{cm}^{-3}$, $N_D = 10^{15}\,\text{cm}^{-3}$, $n_i = 1.5\times10^{10}\,\text{cm}^{-3}$, the built-in potential $V_{bi} = \frac{kT}{q}\ln\!\left(\frac{N_AN_D}{n_i^2}\right)$ is approximately:

$0.694\,\text{V}$✔️
$0.026\,\text{V}$
$1.12\,\text{V}$
$0.3\,\text{V}$

Correct Answer Logic:

$V_{bi} = 0.026\ln\!\left(\frac{10^{32}}{(1.5\times10^{10})^2}\right) = 0.026\ln(4.44\times10^{11}) = 0.026 \times 26.7 \approx 0.694\,\text{V}$.

Architecture QUESTION #2340

Question 2578

According to Rankine's theory, the passive earth pressure coefficient $K_p$ for a frictionless vertical wall with horizontal cohesionless backfill (friction angle $\phi$) is:

$K_p = \dfrac{1 - \sin\phi}{1 + \sin\phi}$
$K_p = \tan^2\!\left(45° - \dfrac{\phi}{2}\right)$
$K_p = \dfrac{1 + \sin\phi}{1 - \sin\phi}$✔️
$K_p = 1 + \sin\phi$

Correct Answer Logic:

Rankine's passive pressure coefficient: $K_p = \dfrac{1 + \sin\phi}{1 - \sin\phi} = \tan^2\!\left(45° + \dfrac{\phi}{2}\right)$. Note that $K_p = 1/K_a$. Passive pressure develops when the wall moves into the retained soil, mobilizing the maximum shear resistance. Options A and B represent the active coefficient $K_a$.
