The lab technician you recently hired tells you the following: Boss, an undisturbed sample of saturated clayey soil was brought

to me from the Mission Valley site. I measured the mass of the sample to be 600 grams. I then measured the mass of the sample after placing it in the oven for 24 hrs. I found this mass to be 200 grams. Can you help me determine the water content?" Determine the water content.

Answer:

The water of the saturated clayed soil is 66.67 %.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of saturated clayed soil, M_s = 600 g

mass of dry soil sample, M_d = 200 g

mass of water content, M_w = M_s - M_d = 600 g - 200 g = 400 g

The water content is determined as;

M_w(\%)  = \frac{M_s - M_d}{M_s} *100\%\\\\M_w(\%)  = \frac{600-200}{600} *100 \% \\\\M_w(\%)  = 66.67 \%

Therefore, the water of the saturated clayed soil is 66.67 %.

What is the weight density of a 2.24 in diameter titanium sphere that weights 0.82 lb?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

0.14\ lb/in^{3}

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass ler unit volume, expressed as

\rho=\frac {m}{v}

Where m is mass, \rho is density and v is the volume. For a sphere, volume is given as

v=\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}

Replacing this into the formula of density then

\rho=\frac {m}{\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}}

Given diameter of 2.24 in then the radius is 1.12 in. Substituting 0.82 lb for m then

\rho=\frac {0.82}{\frac {4\pi 1.12^{3}}{3}}=0.13932044952427\approx 0.14 lb/in^{3}

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: He should have ensured the following before beginning work;

1) All circuits must be de-energized before beginning work

2) All controls must be deactivated during work. LOTO(Log out tag out) must be practiced irrespective of the experience of the electrian or worker.

3) Technicians and Electrical workers must be instructed to know the unsafe conditions associated with their work.

Explanation:

We cannot assume that because he is experienced he cannot be prone to all this wrong practices. Humans tend to think that with experience people become less prone to errors and study has shown that this is not true. Safety must be a priority.
