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

With a very precise volumetric measuring device, the volume of a liquid sample is determined to be 6.321 L (liters). Three stude
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Three students measure the volume of a liquid sample which is 6.321 L.

- Each student measured the liquid sample 4 times. The data is provided for each measurement taken by each student as follows:

                                                 Students

                      Trial          A            B               C

                         1            6.35        6.31          6.38

                        2            6.32        6.31          6.32

                        3            6.33        6.32         6.36

                        4            6.36        6.35         6.36

- We will define the two terms stated in the question " precision " and "accuracy"

- Precision refers to how close the values are to the sample mean. The dense cluster of data is termed to be more precise. We will use the knowledge of statistics and determine the sample standard deviation for each student.

- The mean measurement taken by each student would be as follows:

                       E ( A ) = \frac{6.35 +6.32+6.33+6.36}{4} \\\\E ( A ) = 6.34\\\\E ( B ) = \frac{6.31 +6.31+6.32+6.35}{4} \\\\E ( B ) = 6.3225\\\\E ( C ) = \frac{6.38 +6.32+6.36+6.36}{4} \\\\E ( C ) = 6.355\\

- The precision can be quantize in terms of variance or standard deviation of data. Therefore, we will calculate the variance of each data:

 

                        Var ( A ) = \frac{6.35^2+6.32^2+6.33^2+6.36^2}{4} - 6.34^2\\\\Var ( A ) = 0.00025\\\\Var ( B ) = \frac{6.31^2+6.31^2+6.32^2+6.35^2}{4} - 6.3225^2\\\\Var ( B ) = 0.00026875\\\\Var ( C ) = \frac{6.38^2+6.32^2+6.36^2+6.36^2}{4} - 6.355^2\\\\Var ( C ) = 0.000475\\

- We will rank each student sample data in term sof precision by using the values of variance. The smallest spread or variance corresponds to highest precision. So we have:

                   Var ( A )          <          Var ( B )        <    Var ( C )

                   most precise                                      Least precise

- Accuracy refers to how close the sample mean is to the actual data value. Where the actual volume of the liquid specimen was given to be 6.321 L. We will evaluate the percentage difference of sample values obtained by each student .

                       P ( A ) = \frac{6.34-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.30058\\\\P ( B ) = \frac{6.3225-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.02373\\\\P ( C ) = \frac{6.355-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.53788\\

- Now we will rank the sample means values obtained by each student relative to the actual value of the volume of liquid specimen with the help of percentage difference calculated above. The least percentage difference corresponds to the highest accuracy as follows:

                   P ( B )         <       P ( A )         <      P ( C )

            most accurate                                least accurate

Determine ten different beam loading values that will be used in lab to end load a cantilever beam using weights. Load values sh
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

1st value = 1.828 * 10 ^9 gm/m^2 -------     10th value = 7.312 * 10^9 gm/m^2

Explanation:

initial load ( Wp) = 200 g

W1 ( value by which load values increase ) = 100 g

Ten different beam loading values :

Wp + w1 = 300g ----- p1

Wp + 2W1 = 400g ---- p2

Wp + 3W1 = 500g ----- p3 ----------------- Wp + 10W1 = 1200g ---- p10

x = 10.25" = 0.26 m

b = 1.0" = 0.0254 m

t = 0.125" = 3.175 * 10^-3 m

using the following value to determine the load values at different beam loading values

attached below is the remaining part fo the solution
