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

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

1)

\frac{v-u}{a} =t\\\\Making \ v\ the \ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\First \ cross-multiply:\\\\v-u=at\\\\add\ u\ to \ both\ sides:\\\\v-u+u=at+u\\\\v=u+at

2)

\frac{y-x^2}{x}=3z\\ \\Making\ y\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\First \ cross \ multiply:\\\\y-x^2=3xz\\\\y=3xz+x^2\\\\y=x(x+3z)

3)

x+xy=y\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\x(1+y)=y\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ 1+y\\\\\frac{x(1+y)}{1+y} =\frac{y}{1+y} \\\\x=\frac{y}{1+y}

4)

x+y=xy\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Subtract\ x\ from \ both\ sides:\\\\x+y-x=xy-x\\\\y=xy-x\\\\y=x(y-1)\\\\Divide\ through\ by \ y-1\\\\\frac{y}{y-1} =\frac{x(y-1)}{y-1}\\ \\x=\frac{y}{y-1}

5)

x=y+xy\\\\Making\ x\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Subtract\ xy\ from \ both\ sides:\\\\x-xy=y+xy-xy\\\\x-xy=y\\\\x(1-y)=y\\\\Divide\ through\ by \ 1-y\\\\\frac{x(1-y)}{1-y} =\frac{y}{1-y}\\ \\x=\frac{y}{1-y}

6)

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2\\  \\Making\ u\ the\ subject \ of\ formula:\\\\Multiply \ through\ by \ 2\\\\2E=mv^2-mu^2\\\\mu^2=mv^2-2E\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ m:\\\\u^2=\frac{mv^2-2E}{m}\\ \\Take\ square\ root\ of \ both\ sides:\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2-2E}{m}}

7)

\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\  \\Making\ y\ the\ subject \ of\ formula:\\\\\frac{x^2}{a^2}-1=\frac{y^2}{b^2}\\\\Multiply\ through\ by\ b^2\\\\b^2(\frac{x^2}{a^2} -1)=y^2\\\\Take\ square\ root\ of\ both\ sides:\\\\y=\sqrt{b^2(\frac{x^2}{a^2} -1)}

8)

ay^2=x^3\\\\Make\ y\ the\ subject\ of\ formula:\\\\Divide\ through\ by\ a:\\\\y^2=\frac{x^3}{a}\\ \\Take\ square\ root\ of\ both\ sides:\\\\y=\sqrt{\frac{x^3}{a}} \\
