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 charge of +2.00 μC is at the origin and a charge of –3.00 μC is on the y axis at y = 40.0 cm . (a) What is the potential at po

Nimfa-mama [501]

a) Potential in A: -2700 V

b) Potential difference: -26,800 V

c) Work: $4.3\cdot 10^{-15} J$

Explanation:

a)

The electric potential at a distance r from a single-point charge is given by:

$V(r)=\frac{kq}{r}$

where

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have a system of two charges, so the total potential at a certain point will be given by the algebraic sum of the two potentials.

Charge 1 is

$q_1=+2.00\mu C=+2.00\cdot 10^{-6}C$

and is located at the origin (x=0, y=0)

Charge 2 is

$q_2=-3.00 \mu C=-3.00\cdot 10^{-6}C$

and is located at (x=0, y = 0.40 m)

Point A is located at (x = 0.40 m, y = 0)

The distance of point A from charge 1 is

$r_{1A}=0.40 m$

So the potential due to charge 2 is

$V_1=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(+2.00\cdot 10^{-6})}{0.40}=+4.50\cdot 10^4 V$

The distance of point A from charge 2 is

$r_{2A}=\sqrt{0.40^2+0.40^2}=0.566 m$

So the potential due to charge 1 is

$V_2=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(-3.00\cdot 10^{-6})}{0.566}=-4.77\cdot 10^4 V$

Therefore, the net potential at point A is

$V_A=V_1+V_2=+4.50\cdot 10^4 - 4.77\cdot 10^4=-2700 V$

b)

Here we have to calculate the net potential at point B, located at

(x = 0.40 m, y = 0.30 m)

The distance of charge 1 from point B is

$r_{1B}=\sqrt{(0.40)^2+(0.30)^2}=0.50 m$

So the potential due to charge 1 at point B is

$V_1=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(+2.00\cdot 10^{-6})}{0.50}=+3.60\cdot 10^4 V$

The distance of charge 2 from point B is

$r_{2B}=\sqrt{(0.40)^2+(0.40-0.30)^2}=0.412 m$

So the potential due to charge 2 at point B is

$V_2=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(-3.00\cdot 10^{-6})}{0.412}=-6.55\cdot 10^4 V$

Therefore, the net potential at point B is

$V_B=V_1+V_2=+3.60\cdot 10^4 -6.55\cdot 10^4 = -29,500 V$

So the potential difference is

$V_B-V_A=-29,500 V-(-2700 V)=-26,800 V$

c)

The work required to move a charged particle across a potential difference is equal to its change of electric potential energy, and it is given by

$W=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

In this problem, we have:

$q=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of the electron

$\Delta V=-26,800 V$ is the potential difference

Therefore, the work required on the electron is

$W=(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-26,800)=4.3\cdot 10^{-15} J$

Someone claims that in fully developed turbulent flow in a tube, the shear stress is a maximum at the tube surface. Is this clai

Alika [10]

Answer:

Yes this claim is correct.

Explanation:

The shear stress at any point is proportional to the velocity gradient at any that point. Since the fluid that is in contact with the pipe wall shall have zero velocity due to no flow boundary condition and if we move small distance away from the wall the velocity will have a non zero value thus a maximum gradient will exist at the surface of the pipe hence correspondingly the shear stresses will also be maximum.
