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

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

γ_{xy} =0.01, P=248 kN

Explanation:

Given Data:

displacement = 2mm ;

height = 200mm ;

l = 400mm ;

w = 100 ;

G = 620 MPa = 620 N//mm²;    1MPa = 1N//mm²

a. Average Shear Strain:

The average shear strain can be determined by dividing the total displacement of plate by height

γ_{xy} = displacement / total height

     = 2/200 = 0.01

b. Force P on upper plate:

Now, as we know that force per unit area equals to stress

τ = P/A

Also,  τ = Gγ_{xy}

By comapring both equations, we get

P/A = Gγ_{xy}   ------------ eq(1)

First we need to calculate total area,

A = l*w = 400 * 100= 4*10^4mm²

By putting the values in equation 1, we get

P/40000 = 620 * 0.01

P = 248000 N or 2.48 *10^5 N or 248 kN

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

hand tracing

Explanation:

as a programmer when we pretend  computer in the  debugging process by the step of each statement in recording    

then there value of variable is hand tracing because as The hand tracking feature is the use of hands as an input method      

so while recording value of each variable each step is hand tracing

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Market...Command
