Soil is to be excavated from a borrow pit to construct a 100-m-long trapezoidal levee that is 3 meters high, 5 meters wide at th

e top, and 15 meters wide at the base. The in situ total unit weight of the soil in the borrow pit is 21.7 kN/m3 with a water content of 11.4%. If levee construction requires the soil to be placed at a void ratio of 0.47, determine the volume that should be excavated from the borrow pit.

Answer:

The answer is 2217.32m³

Explanation:

Given that:

V₂  = (15 + 5/2) * 3 * 100 = 3000 m³

r₁ = 21.7kN/m3

w (water) = 11.4%.

e₂ (void ratio) = 0.47

V₁ = ?

Now,

rd₁ =  r₁/1 + w₁ = 21.7/1 +(11.4/100)

= 19.47 kN/m3

Thus,

rd₂ = r₁/1 + e₂ = 21.7/1+ 0.47 = 14.76 kN/m3

Then,

V₁/V₂ = rd₁/ rd₂

V₁ = 3000 * 14.76/19.97

V₁ = 2217.32m³

Therefore, volume that should be excavated from the borrow pit is 2217.32m³

Gas is kept in a 0.1 m diameter cylinder under the weight of a 100 kg piston that is held down by a spring with a stiffness k =
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.

Explanation:

For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of  weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston

Mathematically we can write

Force_{pressure}=Force_{spring}+Weight_{piston}

we know that

Force_{pressure}=Pressure\times Area=300\times 10^{3}\times \frac{\pi \times 0.1^2}{4}=750\pi Newtons

Weight_{piston}=mass\times g=100\times 9.81=981Newtons

Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by Force_{spring}=k\cdot x=5\times 10^{3}\times x

Using the above quatities in the above relation we get

5\times 10^{3}\times x+981=750\pi \\\\\therefore x=\frac{750\pi -981}{5\times 10^{3}}=0.275meters

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Answer for the question :

"the two boxcars A and B have a weight of 20 000 Ib and 30 000 Ib, respectively. If they coast freely down the incline when the brakes are applied to all the wheels of car A causing it to skid, determine the force in the coupling C between the two cars. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels of A and the tracks is μk=0.5. The wheels of car B are free to roll. Neglect their mass in calculation."

Compute the theoretical density of ZnS given that the Zn-S distance and bond angle are 0.234 nm and 109.5o, respectively. The at
andriy [413]

Answer: the theoretical density is 4.1109 g/cm³

Explanation:  

first the image of one set of ZnS bonding in the crystal structure, we calculate the value of angle θ

θ + ∅ + 90° = 180°

θ = 90° - ∅

θ = 90° - ( 109.5° / 2 )

θ = 35.25°

next we calculate the value of x from the geometry

given that;  distance angle d = 0.234

x = dsinθ

= 0.234 × sin35.25°)

= 0.135 nm = 0.135 × 10⁻⁷ cm

next we calculate the length of the unit cell

a = 4x

a = 4(0.135)

a = 0.54 nm = 0.54 × 10⁻⁷ cm

next we calculate number of formula units

n' = (no of corner atoms in unit ell × contribution of each corner atom in unit cell) + ( no of face center atom in a unit cell × contribution of each face center atom in a unit cell)

n' = 8 × 1/8) + ( 6 × 1/2)

= 1 + 3

= 4

next we calculate the theoretical density using  this equation

P = [n'∑(Ac + AA)] / [Vc.NA]

= [n'∑(Ac + AA)] / [(a)³NA]

where the ∑Ac is sum of atomic weights of all cations in the formula unit( 65.41 g/mol)

∑AA is the sum of weights of all anions in the formula unit( 32.06 g/mol)

Na is the Avogadro’s number( 6.023 × 10²³ units/mole)

so we substitute

P = [4( 65.41 + 32.06)] / [ ( 0.54 × 10⁻⁷ )³ × (6.023 × 10²³)]

= 389.88 / 94.84

= 4.1109 g/cm³

therefore the theoretical density is 4.1109 g/cm³
