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

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The cult of personality that surrounded Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union led soviet citizens to believe that there was undisputed support for Stalin both among the government and the common people. In turn, this fueled self-censorship and made political change harder. This cult of personality was achieved through propaganda and censorship, as the Communist Party had control of all mass media. This desire to make himself a "god-like" figure was also an attempt to increase acceptance of communism among the people and to boost morale.

when removing the pistons and rods assemblies from a cylinder block technician a positions the throw of the crankshaft at the to
defon

Answer: Technician A

Reason: Piston and rod are connected with crank shaft and connecting rod. Smaller end of connecting rod is connected with piston and bigger end is connected with crankshaft.  

<u>Explanation: </u>

When removing the piston and rod assemblies from a cylinder block: The technician with correct approach. So to remove piston from cylinder technician must throw crankshaft first and the remove connecting rod by losing nuts and caps...So technician A is in right way. Technician B using hammer to remove piston from the rod not possible because connecting rod and piston connected by nuts and caps can’t be separate by hammer.  

Technician A positions the throw of the crankshaft at the top of its stroke and removes the connecting rod nuts and cap.

Technician B covers the rod bolts with hammers and pushes the piston and rod assembly out with the wooden hammer handle or wooden drift and supports the piston as it comes out of the cylinder.

Consider the flow field given by V ! =xy2^i− 1 3 y3^j+xyk ^. Determine (a) the number of dimensions of the flow, (b) if it is a
Basile [38]

Answer:

a) The flow has three dimensions (3 coordinates).

b) ∇V = 0 it is a incompressible flow.

c) ap = (16/3) i + (32/3) j + (16/3) k

Explanation:

Given

V = xy² i − (1/3) y³ j + xy k

a) The flow has three dimensions (3 coordinates).

b) ∇V = 0

then

∇V = ∂(xy²)/∂x + ∂(− (1/3) y³)/∂y + ∂(xy)/∂z

⇒ ∇V = y² - y² + 0 = 0 it is a incompressible flow.

c) ap = xy²*∂(V)/∂x − (1/3) y³*∂(V)/∂y + xy*∂(V)/∂z

⇒ ap = xy²*(y² i + y k) - (1/3) y³*(2xy i − y² j + x k) + xy*(0)

⇒ ap = (xy⁴ - (2/3) xy⁴) i + (1/3) y⁵ j + (xy³ - (1/3) xy³) k

⇒ ap = (1/3) xy⁴ i + (1/3) y⁵ j + (2/3) xy³ k

At point (1, 2, 3)

⇒ ap = (1/3) (1*2⁴) i + (1/3) (2)⁵ j + (2/3) (1*2³) k

⇒ ap = (16/3) i + (32/3) j + (16/3) k

Which of the following is the LEAST-Likely cause of tire wear? A) Underinflation B) Braking C) Acceleration D) Tire rotation
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step1

Under-inflation is the process of tire failure under low pressure. This contributes the wear on tire.

Step2

On breaking, kinetic energy changes to heat energy because of rubbing of tire. So, rubbing action increases the wear on the tire.

Step3

Acceleration on the vehicle increases the rubbing action as well as the wear and tear on the tire. So, acceleration is an also a major cause of tire wear.

Step4

Tire rotation has least amount of wear and tear due to no rubbing action.  It has less amount surface contact with the surface in rotation.  

Thus, tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.
