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

Answer: a. 0.4667

b. 0.4667 and C 0.0667

Explanation:

Given Data:

N = population size (10)

n = random selection (2)

r = number of observations = 7

Therefore

f(y) = ( r/y ) ( N - r / n - y ) / ( N /n )

When y = 1

f(1) = ( 7/1 ) ( 10 - 7 / 2 -1 ) / ( 10/2 )

= 7 / 15

= 0.4667

When y = 2

f(2) = ( 7/2 ) ( 10 - 7 / 2 -2 ) / ( 10/2 )

= 7 / 15

= 0.4667

When y = 0

f(0) = ( 7/0 ) ( 10 - 7 / 2 -0) / ( 10/2 )

= 1 / 15

= 0.0667

Answer:

9500 kJ; 9000 Btu

Explanation:

Data:

m = 100 lb

T₁ = 25 °C

T₂ = 75 °C

Calculations:

1. Energy in kilojoules

ΔT = 75 °C - 25 °C = 50 °C  = 50 K

m = \text{100 lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.205 lb}} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 g}}{\text{1 kg}}= 4.54 \times 10^{4}\text{ g}\\\\\begin{array}{rcl}q & = & mC_{\text{p}}\Delta T\\& = & 4.54 \times 10^{4}\text{ g} \times 4.18 \text{ J$\cdot$K$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 50 \text{ K}\\ & = & 9.5 \times 10^{6}\text{ J}\\ & = & \textbf{9500 kJ}\\\end{array}

2. Energy in British thermal units

\text{Energy} = \text{9500 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 Btu}}{\text{1.055 kJ}} = \text{9000 Btu}
