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.

It is dangerous to stand near the railway leak when train passing by,why?​
Harman [31]

It is dangerous to stand close to railroad tracks when a rapidly moving commuter train passes. Explain why atmospheric pressure would push you toward the moving train. Water pressure inside a hose nozzle can be less than atmospheric pressure due to the Bernoulli effect.

A bicycle takes 8.0 seconds to accelerate at a constant rate from rest to a speed of 4.0 m/s. If the mass of the bicycle and rid
Inessa05 [86]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
Acceleration = (4 m/s) / (8 seconds)
Acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Force = (85 kg) x (0.5 m/s²)
Force = 42.5 Newtons

A car is initially moving at 35 km/h along a straight highway. To pass another car, it speeds up to 135 km/h in 10.5 seconds at
Aleks04 [339]
Acceleration = (velocity final-velocity initial)/ time
where
velocity final = 135 km/hr x 1 hr /3600 s x 1000m/1km
                     = 37.5 m/s
velocity initial = 35 km/hr x  1hr /3600 s x 1000 m/1 km
                      =  9.72 m/s
a) acceleration = 2.646 m/s^2
b) acceleration in g units  = (2.646m/s^2)/(9.8m/s^2)
                                              = 0.27 units

The force of magnitude F acts along the edge of the triangular plate. Determine the moment of F about point O. Find the general
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The moment is 81.102 k N-m in clockwise.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 260 N

Side = 580 mm

Distance h = 370 mm

According to figure,

Position of each point

O=(0,0)

A=(0,-b)

B=(h,0)

We need to calculate the position vector of AB

\bar{AB}=(h-0)i+(0-(-b))j

\bar{AB}=hi+bj

We need to calculate the unit vector along AB

u_{AB}=\dfrac{\bar{AB}}{|\bar{AB}|}

u_{AB}=\dfrac{h\hat{i}+b\hat{j}}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}}

We need to calculate the force acting along the edge

\hat{F}=F(u_{AB})

\hat{F}=F(\dfrac{h\hat{i}+b\hat{j}}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}})

We need to calculate the net moment

\hat{M}=\hat{F}\times OA

Put the value into the formula

\hat{M}=F(\dfrac{h\hat{i}+b\hat{j}}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}})\times(-b\hat{j})

\hat{M}=\dfrac{F}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}}((h\hat{i}+b\hat{j})\times(-b\hat{j}))

\hat{M}=\dfrac{F}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}}(-bh\hat{k})

\hat{M}=-\dfrac{bhF}{\sqrt{h^2+b^2}}

Put the value into the formula

\hat{M}=-\dfrac{580\times10^{-3}\times370\times10^{-3}\times260}{\sqrt{(370\times10^{-3})^2+(580\times10^{-3})^2}}

\hat{M}=-81.102\ \hat{k}\ N-m

Negative sign shows the moment is in clockwise.

Hence, The moment is 81.102 k N-m in clockwise.

What is the value of x in the triangle? a 45-45-90 triangle with leg length x and hypotenuse length 4
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

x = 2\sqrt 2

Explanation:

Given

Hypotenuse = 4

Required

Find x

Since the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, the following relationship exists

x^2 + x^2 = 4^2 --- i.e. the other legs are equal

So, we have:

2x^2 = 16

Divide both sides by 2

x^2=8

Take square roots of both sides

x = \sqrt 8

Simplify

x = 2\sqrt 2
