In the lab, a container of saturated soil had a mass of 113.27 g before it was placed in the oven and100.06 g after the soil had

dried. The container alone had a mass of 49.31 g. If the specific gravity ofsolids is 2.80, determine the void ratio and water content of the original soil sample.

Answer:

  • Moisture/ water content w = 26%
  • Void ratio , e =  0.73

Explanation:

  • Initial mass of saturated soil w1 = mass of soil - weight of container

                                                 = 113.27 g - 49.31 g = 63.96 g

  • Final mass of soil after oven w2 = mass of soil - weight of container

                                                  = 100.06 g - 49.31 g = 50.75

Moisture /water content, w =   \frac{w1-w2}{w2} = \frac{63.96-50.75}{50.75} = 0.26 = 26%

Void ratio =  water content X specific gravity of solid

                  = 0.26 X 2.80 =0.728

one number is 11 more than another number. find the two number if three times the larger number exceeds four times the smaller n
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a = 40

b = 29

Explanation:

Give a place holder for the numbers that we don't know.

Lets call the two numbers a and b.

From the given info, we can write an expression and solve it:

"one number is 11 more than another number"

a = 11 + b

from this, we know that a > b.

''three times the larger number exceeds four times the smaller number by 4"

3a = 4b + 4

Now we have 2 equations, we can use them to solve using whatever method you want.

a = 11 + b

3a = 4b + 4

I will be using matrices RREF to solve for this.

a - b = 11

3a - 4b = 4

\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1  & 11\\3 & -4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0  & 40\\0 & 1 & 29 \end{bmatrix}

a = 40

b = 29

An alloy is evaluated for potential creep deformation in a short-term laboratory experiment. The creep rate (ϵ˙) is found to be
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Activation energy for creep in this temperature range is Q = 252.2 kJ/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the creep rate at a particular temperature

creep rate, \zeta_{\theta} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R \theta} )

Creep rate at 800⁰C, \zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R (800+273)} )

\zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} )\\\zeta_{800} = 1 \% per hour =0.01\\

0.01 = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} ).........................(1)

Creep rate at 700⁰C

\zeta_{700} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R (700+273)} )

\zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{973R} )\\\zeta_{800} = 5.5 * 10^{-2}  \% per hour =5.5 * 10^{-4}

5.5 * 10^{-4}  = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} ).................(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2)

\frac{0.01}{5.5 * 10^{-4} } = \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073R} -\frac{-Q}{973R} ]\\18.182= \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073R} +\frac{Q}{973R} ]\\R = 8.314\\18.182= \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073*8.314} +\frac{Q}{973*8.314} ]\\18.182= \exp[0.0000115 Q]\\

Take the natural log of both sides

ln 18.182= 0.0000115Q\\2.9004 = 0.0000115Q\\Q = 2.9004/0.0000115\\Q = 252211.49 J/mol\\Q = 252.2 kJ/mol

A light bulb is switched on and within a few minutes its temperature becomes constant. Is it at equilibrium or steady state.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature attains equilibrium with the surroundings.  

Explanation:

When the light bulb is lighted we know that it's temperature will go on increasing as the filament of the bulb has to  constantly dissipates energy during the time in which it is on. Now this energy is dissipated as heat as we know it, this heat energy is absorbed by the material of the bulb which is usually made up of glass, increasing it's temperature. Now we know that any object with temperature above absolute zero has to dissipate energy in form of radiations.

Thus we conclude that the bulb absorbs as well as dissipates it's absorbed thermal energy. we know that this rate is dependent on the temperature of the bulb thus it the temperature of the bulb does not change we can infer that an equilibrium has been reached in the above 2 processes i.e the rate of energy absorption equals the rate of energy dissipation.

Steady state is the condition when the condition does not change with time no matter whatever the surrounding conditions are.
