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.

A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the s
yawa3891 [41]

Hello!

A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the spring ?

Data:

E_{pe}\:(elastic\:potential\:energy) = 5184\:J

K\:(constant) = 16200\:N/m

x\:(displacement) =\:?

For a spring (or an elastic), the elastic potential energy is calculated by the following expression:

E_{pe} = \dfrac{k*x^2}{2}

Where k represents the elastic constant of the spring (or elastic) and x the deformation or displacement suffered by the spring.

Solving:  

E_{pe} = \dfrac{k*x^2}{2}

5184 = \dfrac{16200*x^2}{2}

5184*2 = 16200*x^2

10368 = 16200\:x^2

16200\:x^2 = 10368

x^{2} = \dfrac{10368}{16200}

x^{2} = 0.64

x = \sqrt{0.64}

\boxed{\boxed{x = 0.8\:m}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Answer:  

The displacement of the spring = 0.8 m

In a track and field event, a hammer thrower accelerates the hammer (mass = 7.30 kg) from rest within four full turns (revolutio
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

5.69755 rad/s²

Explanation:

r = Radius = 1.3 m

v = Velocity of the hammer = 22 m/s

n = Number of revolutions = 4

Angular displacement

\theta=n\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \theta=4\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \theta=8\pi

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 0

Final angular speed

\omega_f=\frac{v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\frac{22}{1.3}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=16.92307\ rad/s

Angular acceleration

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{16.92307^2-0^2}{2\times 8\pi}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=5.69755\ rad/s^2

Angular acceleration is given by 5.69755 rad/s²

Particles q1, q2, and q3 are in a straight line.
natima [27]

The net force on q2 will be 1.35 N

A force in physics is an effect that has the power to alter an object's motion. A mass-containing object's velocity can vary, or accelerate, as a result of a force. Intuitively, a push or a pull can also be used to describe force. Being a vector quantity, a force has both magnitude and direction.

Given Particles q1, q2, and q3 are in a straight line. Particles q1 = -5.00 x 10-6 C,q2 = +2.50 x 10-6 C, and q3 = -2.50 x 10-6 C. Particles q₁ and q2 are separated by 0.500 m. Particles q2 and q3 are separated by 0.250 m.

We have to find the net force on q2

At first we will find Force due to q1

F = 9 × 10⁹ × 5 × 10⁻⁶ × 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.5²

F = 450 × 10⁻³

F₁ = 0.45 N (+)

Now we will find Force due to q2

F = 9 × 10⁹ × 5 × 10⁻⁶ × 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.25²

F = 1800 × 10⁻³

F₂ = 1.8 N (-)

So net force (F) will be

F = F₂ - F₁

F = 1.8 - 0.45

F = 1.35 N

Hence the net force on q2 will be 1.35 N
