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

C++ - Green Crud Fibonacci programThe following program is to be written with a loop. You are to write this program three times
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Below is the required code:

Explanation:

Using for loop

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    //Initial crud size

    int init = 0;

    int newCrud;

    int next=0;

    //Number of days to simulate

    int no_days;

    int day;

    cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud: ";

    cin >> newCrud;

    cout << "Enter number of days to simulate: ";

    cin >> no_days;

    for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

    {

         if (day % 10 == 0)

         {

             next = newCrud + init;

         }

             newCrud = init;

             init = next;

    }

    if (no_days < 5)

    cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days minimum.Hence the current amount is "

    << newCrud << " pounds.";

    else

    cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have " << init

    << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

    cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or n): ";

    cin >> ans;

         return 0;

}

Output:

         Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

         Enter number of days to simulate: 220

    On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Using while loop

Program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    char ans='y';

    while (ans == 'Y' || ans == 'y')

    {

         //Initial crud size

         int init = 0;

         int newCrud;

         int next=0;

         //Number of days to simulate

         int no_days;

         int day;

         cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud:

         ";

         cin >> newCrud;

         cout << "Enter number of days to simulate:

         ";

         cin >> no_days;

         for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

         {

             if (day % 10 == 0)

             {

                  next = newCrud + init;

             }

                  newCrud = init;

                  init = next;

         }

         if (no_days < 5)

         cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days

         minimum.Hence the current amount is "

         << newCrud << " pounds.";

         else

         cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have "

         << init

         << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

         cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or

         n): ";

         cin >> ans;

    }

    return 0;

}

Output:

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 220

On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Would you like to continue? (y or n): y

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 225

On day 225 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Using do while loop

Program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    char ans;

    do

    {

         //Initial crud size

         int init = 0;

         int newCrud;

         int next=0;

         //Number of days to simulate

         int no_days;

         int day;

         cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud: ";

         cin >> newCrud;

         cout << "Enter number of days to simulate: ";

         cin >> no_days;

         for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

         {

             if (day % 10 == 0)

             {

                  next = newCrud + init;

             }

                  newCrud = init;

                  init = next;

         }

         if (no_days < 5)

         cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days

         minimum.Hence the current amount is "

         << newCrud << " pounds.";

         else

         

         cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have " <<

         init << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

         cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or n):

         ";

         cin >> ans;

    } while (ans == 'Y' || ans == 'y');

    return 0;

}

Output:

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 220

On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Would you like to continue? (y or n): y

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 225

On day 225 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

A house is losing heat at a rate of 1700 kJ/h per °C temperature difference between the indoor and the outdoor temperatures. Exp
Furkat [3]

Answer:

1700kJ/h.K

944.4kJ/h.R

944.4kJ/h.°F

Explanation:

Conversions for different temperature units are below:

1K = 1°C + 273K

1R = T(K) * 1.8

= (1°C + 273) * 1.8

1°F = (1°C * 1.8) + 32

Q/delta T = 1700kJ/h.°C

T (K) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/K

T (R) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/h.°C * 1°C/1.8R

= 944.4kJ/h.R

T (°F) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/h.°C * 1°C/1.8°F

= 944.4kJ/h.°F

Note that arithmetic operations like subtraction and addition of values do not change or affect the value of a change in temperature (delta T) hence, the arithmetic operations are not reflected in the conversion. Illustration: 5°C - 3°C

= 2°C

(273+5) - (273+3)

= 2 K

There are four distinct events that occur in the Carnot cycle. Name the events and describe each one.
OLEGan [10]

Answer and Explanation:

There four events or stages of reversible nature in a Carnot cycle are:

1. Isothermal expansion of gas

2. Adiabatic expansion

3. Isothermal compression of gas

4.Adiabatic compression of gas

All these 4 processes are reversible processes.

1. A reversible Isothermal expansion of gas takes place in Carnot cycle where an ideal gas  absorbs or intake certain quantity of heat from a heat reservoir or source at an elevated temperature which results in the expansion of gas and work is done on the  surroundings.

2. A reversible expansion of gas adiabatically takes place in Carnot cycle in an environment with thermal insulation where the gas expand and work is done on the surrounding which results in the lowering of the temperature of the system.

3. A reversible compression of gas  isothermally takes place such that the work is done on the system by the surrounding resulting in heat loss.

4. A reversible compression of gas adiabatically, takes place in an environment with thermal insulation and the work is done continuously on the system by the surroundings resulting in the rise in temperature.

Why is apartments called apartments but there not apart???
Lisa [10]

Answer:

he word Apartment derives from the French apartment. ... An apartment came to be called so because it has individual/private rooms for different people, on the same floor. These rooms were, of course, apart. In Britain, apartments are called "flats", as everyone knows.
