A bulb pile is driven to the ground with a 2.5 ton hammer. The drop height is 22 ft and the volume in last batch driven is 4 cu

ft. Establish the safe load if the number of blows to drive the last batch is 36, volume of base and plug is 27 cu ft, and the soil K value is 28.

Answer:

The safe load is 159 ton

Explanation:

The safe load is equal to:

L=\frac{WHBV^{2/3} }{K}

Where:

W = weight of hammer = 2.5 ton

H = drop height = 22 ft

B = number of blows used to drive the last batch = 36/4 = 9 ft³

K = dimensionless constant = 28

V = uncompacted volume = 27 ft³

Replacing values:

L=\frac{2.5*22*9*(27^{2/3}) }{28} =159ton

A certain spring has a spring constant k1 = 660 N/m as the spring is stretched from x = 0 to x1 = 35 cm. The spring constant the
pantera1 [17]

(a) The equation for the work done in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is ¹/₂K₂Δx².

(b) The work done, in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is 11.25 J.

(c) The work, necessary to stretch the spring from x = 0 to x3 is 64.28 J.

<h3>Work done in the spring</h3>

The work done in stretching the spring is calculated as follows;

W = ¹/₂kx²

W(1 to 2) = ¹/₂K₂Δx²

W(1 to 2)  =  ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)²

W(1 to 2)  = 11.25 J

W(0  to 3) = ¹/₂k₁x₁² + ¹/₂k₂x₂² + ¹/₂F₃x₃

W(0  to 3) = ¹/₂(660)(0.35)² + ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)² + ¹/₂(105)(0.89 - 0.65)

W(0  to 3) = 64.28 J

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers whose transmission axes are at an angle # with respect to each other. What shoul
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

63.4^{\circ}

Explanation:

When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so

I_1 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 (1)

where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.

When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle \theta with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is

I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta (2)

If we combine (1) and (2) together,

I_2 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta (3)

We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so

I_2 = \frac{1}{10}I_0

So we can rewrite (3) as

\frac{1}{10}I_0 =  \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta

From which we find

cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{5}

cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}})=63.4^{\circ}
