Answer:

a) 2622.903 N/m^3

b) 1.38233

c)4.878811765

Explanation:

Find the void ratio using the formula:

y = \frac{G_{s}*y_{w} + w*G_{s}*y_{w} }{1+e} ....... Eq1

Here;

G_{s} is specific gravity of soil solids

y_{w} is unit weight of water = 998 kg/m^3

w is the moisture content = 0.17

e is the void ratio

y is the unit weight of soil = 14.9KN/m^3

Saturation Ratio Formula:

w*G_{s} = S*e  ..... Eq2

S is saturation rate

Substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1

y = \frac{(\frac{S*e}{w}) * y_{w} + S*e*y_{w}  }{1+e}

14900 = \frac{3522.352941*e + 598.8*e }{1+e} = \frac{4121.152941*e}{1+e}\\\\ e= 1.38233

Specific gravity of soil solids

G_{s} = \frac{S*e}{w} = \frac{0.6*1.38233}{0.17} = 4.878811765

Saturated Unit Weight

y_{s} = \frac{(G_{s} + e)*y_{w}  }{1+e} \\=\frac{(4.878811765 + 1.38233)*998  }{1+1.38233}\\\\= 2622.902571 N/m^3

The chart shows the bids provided by four engineers to test a prototype.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

To know which is most or least cost-effective, it's not enough to look at only the per day rate, or only the time to complete.  You have to multiply them to get the total cost of the project.

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}&Cost\ per\ day\ (\$)&Time\ to\ complete\ (days)&Total\ cost\ (\$)\\Zoe&500&8&4000\\Greg&650&10&6500\\Orion&400&12&4800\\Jin&700&5&3500\end{array}\right]

As you can see, Greg is the least cost-effective because he charges the most for the project.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

  1. def median(l):
  2.    if(len(l) == 0):
  3.       return 0
  4.    else:
  5.        l.sort()
  6.        if(len(l)%2 == 0):
  7.            index = int(len(l)/2)
  8.            mid = (l[index-1] + l[index]) / 2
  9.        else:
  10.            mid = l[len(l)//2]  
  11.        return mid  
  12. def mode(l):
  13.    if(len(l)==0):
  14.        return 0
  15.    mode = max(set(l), key=l.count)
  16.    return mode  
  17. def mean(l):
  18.    if(len(l)==0):
  19.        return 0
  20.    sum = 0
  21.    for x in l:
  22.        sum += x
  23.    mean = sum / len(l)
  24.    return mean
  25. lst = [5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 25, 30, 45, 61]
  26. print(mean(lst))
  27. print(median(lst))
  28. print(mode(lst))

Explanation:

Firstly, we create a median function (Line 1). This function will check if the the length of list is zero and also if it is an even number. If the length is zero (empty list), it return zero (Line 2-3). If it is an even number, it will calculate the median by summing up two middle index values and divide them by two (Line 6-8). Or if the length is an odd, it will simply take the middle index value and return it as output (Line 9-10).

In mode function, after checking the length of list, we use the max function to estimate the maximum count of the item in list (Line 17) and use it as mode.

In mean function,  after checking the length of list,  we create a sum variable and then use a loop to add the item of list to sum (Line 23-25). After the loop, divide sum by the length of list to get the mean (Line 26).

In the main program, we test the three functions using a sample list and we shall get
