A solid object has a density of 2.85 g/cm3. According to Archimedes, what can be done to make this object float in water?

2: It's not just the capillary action, but the pull from transpiration (the evaporation of water from the tree) that is used to pull water up from the roots.

The second question needs context. Strong bonds alone won't cause tension. I don't see how adhesion is different. High vapour pressure could do it, but it's the difference in pressures that'd cause tension (and the resistance of that pressure by the surface). So, a low and high pressure would be needed. Poorly worded question :( 

1: "Adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar molecules to cling together due to attractive forces." [1] 

3: The other three answere would not work. Think of a boat. 

3: If you push gas, it will be compressed(get smaller). If you push liquid it will push something else. Thus, liquids are good for transferring force. This is a hydraulic system.

A permeability test was run on a compacted sample of dirty sandy gravel. The sample was 175 mm long and the diameter of the mold

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(a). The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(b). The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

(c). The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 175 mm

Diameter = 175 mm

Time = 90 sec

Volume= 405 cm³

We need to calculate the discharge

Using formula of discharge

$Q=\dfrac{V}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$Q=\dfrac{405}{90}$

$Q=4.5\ cm^3/s$

(a). We need to calculate the coefficient of permeability

Using formula of coefficient of permeability

$Q=kiA$

$k=\dfrac{Q}{iA}$

$k=\dfrac{Ql}{Ah}$

Where, Q=discharge

l = length

A = cross section area

h=constant head causing flow

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{4.5\times175\times10^{-1}}{\dfrac{\pi(175\times10^{-1})^2}{4}\times38}$

$k=8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$

The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(c). We need to calculate the discharge velocity during the test

Using formula of discharge velocity

$v=ki$

$v=\dfrac{kh}{l}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{8.6\times10^{-3}\times38}{17.5}$

$v=0.0187\ cm/s$

The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

(b). We need to calculate the volume of solid in the ample

Using formula of volume

$V_{s}=\dfrac{M_{s}}{V_{s}}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{s}=\dfrac{4950\times10^{-3}}{2710}$

$V_{s}=1826.56\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the volume of the soil specimen

Using formula of volume

$V=A\times L$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\dfrac{\pi(17.5)^2}{4}\times17.5$

$V=4209.24\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the volume of the voids

$V_{v}=V-V_{s}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{v}=4209.24-1826.56$

$V_{v}=2382.68\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the seepage velocity

Using formula of velocity

$Av=A_{v}v_{s}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{Av}{A_{v}}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{V}{V_{v}}\times v$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{s}=\dfrac{4209.24}{2382.68}\times0.0187$

$v_{s}=0.0330\ cm/s$

The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

Hence, (a). The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(b). The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

(c). The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Efficiency = \frac {240}{300} * 100$

$Efficiency = 0.8 * 100$

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore, the mechanical efficiency of the machine is 80 percent.
