The in situ moisture content of a soil is 18% and the moist (total) unit weight is 105 pcf. The soil is to be excavated and tran

sported to a construction site for use in a compacted fill. If the specifications call for for the soil to be compacted at a minimum dry unit weight of 103 pcf at the same moisture content of 18%, how many cubic yards of soil of the excavation site are required for each cubic yard of compacted fill? Assume a soil specific gravity of 2.7.

Answer: Volume= 1.16 yd³

Explanation:

We are given the in-situ moisture content= 18% and moist unit weight= 105 pcf

First we find out the dry unit weight

Dry unit weight= Moist unit weight / (1+ moisture content)

Dry unit weight= $\frac{105}{1.18}$

Dry unit weight= 88.983 pcf

Now, to find the volume ( in terms of each cubic yard i.e 1 yd³ we have

Volume = Dry unit weight compacted / Dry unit weight (in-situ) * 1 yd³

Volume= $\frac{103.5}{88.983} * 1$

Volume= 1.16 yd³

A flywheel made of Grade 30 cast iron (UTS = 217 MPa, UCS = 763 MPa, E = 100 GPa, density = 7100 Kg/m, Poisson's ratio = 0.26) h

hram777 [196]

Answer:

N = 38546.82 rpm

Explanation:

$D_{1}$ = 150 mm

$A_{1}= \frac{\pi }{4}\times 150^{2}$

= 17671.45 $mm^{2}$

$D_{2}$ = 250 mm

$A_{2}= \frac{\pi }{4}\times 250^{2}$

= 49087.78 $mm^{2}$

The centrifugal force acting on the flywheel is fiven by

F = M ( $R_{2}$ - $R_{1}$ ) x $w^{2}$ ------------(1)

Here F = ( -UTS x $A_{1}$ + UCS x $A_{2}$ )

Since density, $\rho = \frac{M}{V}$

$\rho = \frac{M}{A\times t}$

$M = \rho \times A\times t$ $M = 7100 \times \frac{\pi }{4}\left ( D_{2}^{2}-D_{1}^{2} \right )\times t$

$M = 7100 \times \frac{\pi }{4}\left ( 250^{2}-150^{2} \right )\times 37$

$M = 8252963901$

∴ $R_{2}$ - $R_{1}$ = 50 mm

∴ F = $763\times \frac{\pi }{4}\times 250^{2}-217\times \frac{\pi }{4}\times 150^{2}$

F = 33618968.38 N --------(2)

Now comparing (1) and (2)

$33618968.38 = 8252963901\times 50\times \omega ^{2}$

∴ ω = 4036.61

We know

$\omega = \frac{2\pi N}{60}$

$4036.61 = \frac{2\pi N}{60}$

∴ N = 38546.82 rpm

Consider a resistor made of pure silicon with a cross-sectional area pf 0.5 μm2, and a length of 50 μm. What is the resistance o

lukranit [14]

Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵ Ω cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA
