Answer:

a) γt = 120.107 lbf/ft³

b) γt = 121.455 lbf/ft³

c) γt = 122.803 lbf/ft³

d) γt = 124.150 lbf/ft³

Explanation:

Given:

e = 0.76

Gs = 2.74

γw = 62.43 lbf/ft³

a) S = 85%

b) S = 90%

c) S = 95%

d) S = 100%

We can apply the formula

γt = γw*(Gs+S*e)/(1+e)

a) γt = (62.43 lbf/ft³)*(2.74+0.85*0.76)/(1+0.76)

γt = 120.107 lbf/ft³

b) γt = (62.43 lbf/ft³)*(2.74+0.90*0.76)/(1+0.76)

γt = 121.455 lbf/ft³

c) γt = (62.43 lbf/ft³)*(2.74+0.95*0.76)/(1+0.76)

γt = 122.803 lbf/ft³

d) γt = (62.43 lbf/ft³)*(2.74+1*0.76)/(1+0.76)

γt = 124.150 lbf/ft³

if a spring stores 5j of energy when it is compressed by0.5m,what is the spring constant of the spring?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

K = 40N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke’s law

Energy = 1/2 kx^2

K is the spring constant

x = displacement

From the question

Energy =5J

x = 0.5m

K = ?

Using the above formula,

We have

5 = 1/2 x k x (0.5)^2

5 = 1/2 x k x (0.5 x 0.5)

5 = 1/2 x k x 0.25

5 = 0.25k/ 2

Cross multiply

5 x 2 = 0.25k

10 = 0.25k

Divide both sides by 0.25 to get k

10/0.25 = 0.25k/ 0.25

40 = k

K = 40N/m

A girl is running toward the front of a train at 10 m/s. If the train is going 75 m/s on the Southbound tracks, what is the spee
dimulka [17.4K]
We can take as positive direction the direction of the train, and as negative direction the direction of the girl. The speed of the train relative to the girl will be given by the difference between the two velocities:
v' = v_t - v_g
which means
v'=75 m/s - (-10 m/s)=85 m/s

A ball is dropped from the top of a tall building h=5m about how long does it take for the ball to hit the ground.
pishuonlain [190]
D=-5m
a(gravity)=-9.8m/s^2
vi= 0m/s
t=?
use equation d=vi*t+0.5a*t^2
because vi=0, you can cross out vi*t because anything multiplied by 0= 0
rearrange the equation to say t^2=d/0.5a
t^2= -5/-4.9
t^2=1.02
find the square root...
final answer: t=1s

A long, nonconducting cylinder (radius = 6.0 mm) has a nonuniform volume charge density given by αr2, where α = 6.2 mC/m5 and r
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 2.80 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric firld inside the solid cylinder

non conductor we have to use the Gaussian law,

∫E.ds=Q inside/ε0

E*2πrL=ρ Volume of the Gaussian surface/ε0

E*2πrL= a*r^2 π* r^2* L/ε0

E=a*r^3/(2*ε0)

E=6.2 * (0.002)^3/ (2*8.85*10^-12)= 2.80 N/C
