A cylinder contains 480 cm3 of loose dry sand which weighs 820 g. Under a static load of 200 kPa the volume is reduced 1%, and t

hen by vibration it is reduced 10% of the original volume. Assume the solid density of sand grains is 2.65 Mg/m3 . Compute the void ratio, porosity, dry density, and total density corresponding to each of the following cases:__________.(a) Loose sand. (b) Under static load. (c) Vibrated and loaded sand.

Answer:

a.

b.

c.

Explanation:

a. void  ratio is provided by the formula: e = \frac{V_{p} }{V_{s}  }

   where , V_{p} = volume of voids

                V_{s} = volume of solid grains

for loose sand, the void space = \frac{480}{480}

                                                   = 1

b. void ratio after static load = 0.1/(480)/ (480)

                                               = 0.1

c. void ratio after vibration = [480- ( 0.1 * 480) ]/ 480

                                             = 0.9

Sum of Numbers Design a function that accepts an integer argument and returns the sum of all the integers from 1 up to the numbe
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

# define main to get an argument from the user, call the function, and display the final values

def main():

 # ask an argument from the user.

 number = int(input('Enter a positive integer: '))

 # solve the integral thing of the number by putting the user's argument in the addition() function

 finalSum = addition(number)

 # display the final value integral thing

 print("The integral of this number is ", finalSum, ".")

# define an addition function to find the integral

def addition(num):

 # make an if-statement to test filter things out of your calculations. In this case, 1.

 if num == 1:

   #if 1, return 1. because 1 + (1 - 1) = 1

   return 1

 # this is where the recursion actually is. This is the part that calculates

 else:

   return num + addition(num-1)

# call your main function

main()

Select three ways an engineer can create a view of a design.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Sketching projection

  • Sketching will give the brief planning of the engineering work to be done so it's important

Isometric projection

  • Yes doing a work in 3D factor out the mistakes which can be optimised

Third angle projection:-

  • Viewing angles matter a lot
  • So it will help the engineer to make it perfect from all angles

What is a general requirement on a sensor for the sensor to have minimal dynamic error? (The sensor is not limited to be a first
Andrews [41]

Answer and Explanation:

The criteria defined for the instruments that changes rapidly with time, ae called dynamic characteristics. These characteristics are namely

1. Speed of response  

2. Fidelity

3. Dynamic error

4. Measuring lag

Speed of response

It is the speed with which a measurement system responds to changes in the measured quantity.

Fidelity

It is the degree to which a measurement system indicates changes in the measured quantity without dynamic error.

Dynamic error

It is the difference between the true value of the quantity changing with time and the value indicated by the measurement system if no static error is assumed. It is also known as measurement error.

Measuring lag

It is the delay in the response of a measurement system to changes in the measured quantity. It is divided into two as follows.
