A consolidation test was performed on a sample of fine-grained soil sample taken from a depth such that the vertical effective s

tress at that depth is 154 kN/m2. The thickness of the layer is 8 m, and the preconsolidation stress of the fine-grained soil layer is 154 kN/m2. If the initial void ratio of the soil is 0.87 and the design load to be added at the surface will induce a change in stress of 28 at the depth the sample was taken, calculate the primary consolidation settlement expected due to that load. The compression index of the soil is 0.3, and the recompression index of the soil is 0.07.

Answer:

The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.

Explanation:

Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil

The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula

\Delta H=\frac{H_oC_c}{1+e_o}log(\frac{\bar{\sigma_o}+\Delta \bar{\sigma }}{\bar{\sigma_o}})

where

'H' is the initial depth of the layer

C_c is the Compression index

e_o is the inital void ratio

\bar{\sigma_o} is the initial effective stress at the depth

\Delta \bar{\sigma_o} is the change in the effective stress at the given depth

Applying the given values we get

\Delta H=\frac{8\times 0.3}{1+0.87}log(\frac{154+28}{154})=1.04

A tank with some water in it begins to drain. The function v ( t ) = 46 − 3.5 t determines the volume of the water in the tank (
olchik [2.2K]

Answer with Explanation:

Part a)

The volume of water in the tank as a function of time is plotted in the below attached figure.

The vertical intercept of the graph is 46.

Part b)

The vertical intercept represents the volume of water that is initially present in the tank before draining begins.

Part c)

To find the time required to completely drain the tank we calculate the volume of the water in the tank to zero.

0=46-3.5t\\\\3.5=46\\\\\therefore t=\frac{46}{3.5}=13.143minutes

Part d)

The horizontal intercept represents the time it takes to empty the tank which as calculated above is 13.143 minutes.

Consider a space shuttle weighing 100 kN. It is travelling at 310 m/s for 30 minutes. At the same time, it descends 2200 m. Cons
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 100 kN

velocity =  310 m/s

time = 30 min = 1800 s

drag force = 12 kN

descends = 2200 m

to find out

work done by the shuttle engine

solution

we know that work done here is

work done = accelerating work - drag work - descending work

put here all value

work done = ( mass ×velocity ×time  - force ×velocity ×time  - mass ×descends )  10³ J

work done = ( 100 × 310 × 1800  - 12×310 ×1800  - 100 × 2200 )  10³ J

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Liquid flows with a free surface around a bend. The liquid is inviscid and incompressible, and the flow is steady and irrotation
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

9 cm

Explanation:

The liquid on the bend will be affected by two accelerations: gravity and centripetal force.

Gravity will be of 9.81 m/s^2 pointing down at all points.

The centripetal acceleration will be of

ac = v^2/r

Pointing to the center of the bend (perpendicular to gravity).

The velocity will depend on the radius

v = (1 m^2/s) / r

Replacing:

ac = (1/r)^2 / r

ac = (1 m^4/s^2) / r^3

If we set up a cylindrical reference system with origin at the center of the bend, the total acceleration will be

a = (-1/r^3 * i - 9.81 * j)

The surface of the liquid will be an equipotential surface, this means all points on the surface have the same potential energy.

The potential energy of the gravity field is:

pg = g * h

The potential energy of the centripetal force is:

pc = ac * r

Then the potential field is:

p = -1/r^2 * - 9.81*h

Points on the surface at r = 1 m and r = 3 m have the same potential.

-1/1^2 * - 9.81*h1 = -1/3^2 * - 9.81*h2

-1 - 9.81*h1 = -1/9 - 9.81*h2

-1 + 1/9 = 9.81 * (h1 - h2)

h1 - h2 = (-8/9) / 9.81

h2 - h1 = 0.09 m

The outer part will be 9 cm higher than the inner part.
