Answer:

(a). The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(b). The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

(c). The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 175 mm

Diameter = 175 mm

Time = 90 sec

Volume= 405 cm³

We need to calculate the discharge

Using formula of discharge

$Q=\dfrac{V}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$Q=\dfrac{405}{90}$

$Q=4.5\ cm^3/s$

(a). We need to calculate the coefficient of permeability

Using formula of coefficient of permeability

$Q=kiA$

$k=\dfrac{Q}{iA}$

$k=\dfrac{Ql}{Ah}$

Where, Q=discharge

l = length

A = cross section area

h=constant head causing flow

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{4.5\times175\times10^{-1}}{\dfrac{\pi(175\times10^{-1})^2}{4}\times38}$

$k=8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$

The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(c). We need to calculate the discharge velocity during the test

Using formula of discharge velocity

$v=ki$

$v=\dfrac{kh}{l}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{8.6\times10^{-3}\times38}{17.5}$

$v=0.0187\ cm/s$

The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

(b). We need to calculate the volume of solid in the ample

Using formula of volume

$V_{s}=\dfrac{M_{s}}{V_{s}}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{s}=\dfrac{4950\times10^{-3}}{2710}$

$V_{s}=1826.56\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the volume of the soil specimen

Using formula of volume

$V=A\times L$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\dfrac{\pi(17.5)^2}{4}\times17.5$

$V=4209.24\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the volume of the voids

$V_{v}=V-V_{s}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{v}=4209.24-1826.56$

$V_{v}=2382.68\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the seepage velocity

Using formula of velocity

$Av=A_{v}v_{s}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{Av}{A_{v}}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{V}{V_{v}}\times v$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{s}=\dfrac{4209.24}{2382.68}\times0.0187$

$v_{s}=0.0330\ cm/s$

The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

Hence, (a). The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(b). The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

(c). The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

Two points are on a disk turning at constant angular velocity. One point is on the rim and the other halfway between the rim and

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The point on the rim

Explanation:

All the points on the disk travels at the same angular speed $\omega$ , since they cover the same angular displacement in the same time. Instead, the tangential speed of a point on the disk is given by

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

r is the distance of the point from the centre of the disk

As we can see, the tangential speed is directly proportional to the distance from the centre: so the point on the rim, having a larger r than the point halway between the rim and the axis, will have a larger tangential speed, and therefore will travel a greater distance in a given time.

Charge is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an infinitely long solid Cylinder of radius R what is the electric fiel

Arada [10]

Solution :

Let us consider the Gaussian surface that is in the form of a cylinder having a radius of r and a length of A which is $\text{coaxial with the charged cylinder}$ .

The charged enclosed by the cylinder is given by,

$q=\rho V$ (here, V = $\pi r^2l$ is the volume of the cylinder)

$=\pi r^2lp$

If $\rho$ is positive, then the electric field lines moves in the radial outward direction and is normal to Gaussian surface which is distributed uniformly.

Therefore, total flux through Gaussian cylinder is :

$\phi=EA_{cyl}$

$=E(2\pi rl)$

Now using Gauss' law, we get

$2\pi \epsilon_0rlE = \pi r^2lp$

or $E=\frac{\rho r}{2 \epsilon_0}$

Therefore, the electric field is $E=\frac{\rho r}{2 \epsilon_0}$

Hence, option (d) is correct.

What characteristics are shared by both heating and cooling curves? choose 4

Luda [366]

The characteristics shared by both heating and cooling curves is that phases changes when the temperature stays the same.

<h3>What is heating and cooling?</h3>

Heating is the process by which the temperature of a place or substances or object is increased.

Cooling Is the process of lowering the temperature of a substance or object by using conditioners or by freezing .

Therefore, The characteristics shared by both heating and cooling curves is that phases changes when the temperature stays the same.

What is the electric flux φ through each of the six faces of the cube? Use ϵ0 for the permittivity of free space?

exis [7]

If total charge Q is enclosed in the surface of cube

then we will have say that total flux linked with all surfaces of the cube will be given by

$\phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

since the position of charge is symmetric with respect to the center of the cube so here this whole flux will be equally linked with each of the face of the cube

So here total 6 faces of the cube is there and the total flux of the charge will equally divide in these 6 faces

so flux linked with each face is given by formula

$\phi = \frac{Q}{6\epsilon_0}$

so each face will have above flux due to central position of charge Q
