Using the following data, determine the percentage retained, cumulative percentage retained, and percent passing for each sieve.

vekshin1

Solution :

<u>Sieve Size</u> (in) <u>Weight retain</u><u>(g)</u>

3 1.62

2 2.17

$1\frac{1}{2}$ 3.62

$\frac{3}{4}$ 2.27

$\frac{3}{8}$ 1.38

PAN 0.21

Given :

Sieve weight % wt. retain % cumulative % finer

size retained wt. retain

No. 4 59.5 10.225% 10.225% 89.775%

No. 8 86.5 14.865% 25.090% 74.91%

No. 16 138 23.7154% 48.8054% 51.2%

No. 30 127.8 21.91% 70.7154% 29.2850%

No. 50 97 16.6695% 87.3849% 12.62%

No. 100 66.8 11.4796% 98.92% 1.08%

Pan <u> 6.3 </u> 1.08% 100% 0%

581.9 gram

Effective size = percentage finer 10% ( $$$D_{20}$ )

0.149 mm, N 100, % finer 1.08

0.297, N 50 , % finer 12.62%

x , 10%

$y-1.08 = \frac{12.62 - 1.08}{0.297 - 0.149}(x-0.149)$

$(10-1.08) \times \frac{0.297 - 0.149}{12.62 - 1.08}+ 0.149=x$

x = 0.2634 mm

Effective size, $D_{10} = 0.2643 \ mm$

Now, N 16 (1.19 mm) , 51.2%

N 8 (2.38 mm) , 74.91%

x, 60%

$60-51.2 = \frac{74.91-51.2}{2.38-1.19}(x-1.19)$

x = 1.6317 mm

$\therefore D_{60} = 1.6317 \ mm$

Uniformity co-efficient = $\frac{D_{60}}{D_{10}}$

$Cu= \frac{1.6317}{0.2643}$

Cu = 6.17

Now, fineness modulus = $\frac{\Sigma \text{\ cumulative retain on all sieve }}{100}$

$=\frac{\Sigma (10.225+25.09+48.8054+70.7165+87.39+98.92+100)}{100}$

= 4.41

which lies between No. 4 and No. 5 sieve [4.76 to 4.00]

So, fineness modulus = 4.38 mm

The section should span between 10.9 and 13.4 cm (4.30 and 5.30 inches) as measured from the end supports and should be able to

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

hello below is missing piece of the complete question

minimum size = 0.3 cm

answer : 0.247 N/mm2

Explanation:

Given data :

section span : 10.9 and 13.4 cm

minimum load applied evenly to the top of span : 13 N

maximum load for each member ; 4.5 N

lets take each member to be 4.2 cm

Determine the max value of P before truss fails

Taking average value of section span ≈ 12 cm

Given minimum load distributed evenly on top of section span = 13 N

we will calculate the value of by applying this formula

= $\frac{Wl^2}{12} = (0.013 * 0.0144 )/ 12$ = 1.56 * 10^-5

next we will consider section ; 4.2 cm * 0.3 cm

hence Z (section modulus ) = BD^2 / 6

= ( 0.042 * 0.003^2 ) / 6 = 6.3*10^-8

Finally the max value of P( stress ) before the truss fails

= M/Z = ( 1.56 * 10^-5 ) / ( 6.3*10^-8 )

= 0.247 N/mm2

A batch of 1000 is split into 10 smaller batches of equal size 100. The processing time of each unit is 2

Vika [28.1K]

The lead time of the actual batch will be in

2950 in minutes

<h3>What is Processing Time?</h3>

This refers to the amount of time which is taken for a processor to run a procedure and return a result.

We can see that a batch of 1000 is split so that they each have 10 smaller batches which has an equal size of 100 each, then if the processing time is 2 mins per machine and the set up time is 30 mins.

Hence, when this batch is processed over a serial line of 5 machines, then the lead time of the actual batch would be 2950 in minutes
