On December 17, 1903, the Flyer flew for two minutes and 1200 feet.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The first successful flight that was taken by the "Wright brothers" on seventeenth of December in the year 1903 was not for two minutes and more over there were four different flights that the brothers took on that same day.

The first one was for 12 seconds for 540 feet, the second flight was for thirteen seconds ans went up to 200 feet and the third flight was for fifteen seconds again for 200 feet. The fourth was the longest flight which lasted for 59 seconds.

The cubic capacity of a four-stroke over-square spark-ignition engine is 245cc. The over-square ratio is (1.1) The clearance vol

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Bore = 7 cm

stroke = 6.36 cm

compression ratio = 10.007

Explanation:

Given data:

Cubic capacity of the engine, V = 245 cc

Clearance volume, v = 27.2 cc

over square-ratio = 1.1

thus,

D/L = 1.1

where,

D is the bore

L is the stroke

Now,

V = $\frac{\pi}{4}D^2L$

V = $\frac{\pi}{4}\frac{D^3}{1.1}$

on substituting the values, we have

245 = $\frac{\pi}{4}\frac{D^3}{1.1}$

D = 7.00 cm

Now,

we have

D/L = 1.1

thus,

L = D/1.1

L = 7/1.1

L= 6.36 cm

Now,

the compression ratio is given as:

$\textup{compression ratio}=\frac{V+v}{v}$

on substituting the values, we get

$\textup{compression ratio}=\frac{245+27.2}{27.2}$

Compression ratio = 10.007

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A). Dry unit weight = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity = 0.37

C). Void ratio = 0.593

D). 0.712

Explanation:

Total unit weight, Y = 120pcf =1922.2 Kg/m3

Specific gravity of solids, Gs = 2.64

Water content, w = 16%

A). Dry unit weight

Yd = Y/(1+w)

= 1922.2/(1+0.16) = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity

However void ratio, e = Gs×Yw/Yd, where Yw = 1000Kg/m3

Void ratio = 2.64×1000/1657.08 = 0.593

And porosity = e/(1+e) =0.593/(1+0.593) = 0.37

C). void ratio, e = 0.593

D). Degree of saturation, S = m×Gs/e where m =water content

S = 0.16×2.64/0.593 = 0.712
