An unknown immiscible liquid seeps into the bottom of an open oil tank. Some measurements indicate that the depth of the unknown

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The specific weight of unknown liquid is found to be 15 KN/m³

Explanation:

The total pressure in tank is measured to be 65 KPa in the tank. But, the total pressure will be equal to the sum of pressures due to both oil and unknown liquid.

Total Pressure = Pressure of oil + Pressure of unknown liquid

65 KPa = (Specific Weight of oil)(depth of oil) + (Specific Weight of unknown liquid)(depth of unknown liquid)

65 KN/m² = (8.5 KN/m³)(5 m) + (Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid)(1.5 m)

(Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid)(1.5 m) = 65 KN/m² - 42.5 KN/m²

(Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid) = (22.5 KN/m²)/1.5 m

<u>Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid = 15 KN/m³</u>

A material has the following properties: Sut = 275 MPa and n = 0.40. Calculate its strength coefficient, K.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The strength coefficient is K = 591.87 MPa

Explanation:

We can calculate the strength coefficient using the equation that relates the tensile strength with the strain hardening index given by

$S_{ut}=K \left(\cfrac ne \right)^n$

where Sut is the tensile strength, K is the strength coefficient we need to find and n is the strain hardening index.

Solving for strength coefficient

From the strain hardening equation we can solve for K

$K = \cfrac{S_{ut}}{\left(\cfrac ne \right)^n}$

And we can replace values

$K = \cfrac{275}{\left(\cfrac {0.4}e \right)^{0.4}}\\K=591.87$

Thus we get that the strength coefficient is K = 591.87 MPa

2. The moist weight of 0.1 ft3 of soil is 12.2 lb. If the moisture content is 12% and the specific gravity of soil solids is 2.7

adell [148]

The answers to dry unit weight, void ratio, porosity, degree of saturation, volume occupied by water are respectively;

γ_d = 108.93 lb/ft³; e = 0.56; n = 0.36; S = 0.58; V_w = 0.021 ft³

<h3>Calculation of Volume and Weight of soil</h3>

We are given;

Moist weight; W = 12.2 lb

Volume of moist soil; V = 0.1 ft³

moisture content; w = 12% = 0.12

Specific gravity of soil solids; G_s = 2.72

A) Formula for dry unit weight is;

γ_d = γ/(1 + w)

where γ_w is moist unit weight as;

γ_w = W/V

γ_w = 122/0.1 = 122 lb/ft³

Thus;

γ_d = 122/(1 + 0.12)

γ_d = 108.93 lb/ft³

B) Formula for void ratio is;

e = [(G_s * γ_w)/γ_d] - 1

e = [(2.72 * 122)/108.93] - 1

e = 0.56

C) Formula for porosity is;

n = e/(1 + e)

n = 0.56/(1 + 0.56)

n = 0.36

D) Formula for degree of saturation is;

S = (w * G_s)/e

S = (0.12 * 2.72)/0.56

S = 0.58

E) Volume occupied by water is gotten from;

V_w = S*V_v

where;

V_v is volume of voids = nV

V_v = 0.36*0.1

V_v = 0.036 ft³

Thus;

V_w = 0.58 * 0.036

V_w = 0.021 ft³
