A permeability test was run on a compacted sample of dirty sandy gravel. The sample was 175 mm long and the diameter of the mold

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(a). The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(b). The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

(c). The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 175 mm

Diameter = 175 mm

Time = 90 sec

Volume= 405 cm³

We need to calculate the discharge

Using formula of discharge

$Q=\dfrac{V}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$Q=\dfrac{405}{90}$

$Q=4.5\ cm^3/s$

(a). We need to calculate the coefficient of permeability

Using formula of coefficient of permeability

$Q=kiA$

$k=\dfrac{Q}{iA}$

$k=\dfrac{Ql}{Ah}$

Where, Q=discharge

l = length

A = cross section area

h=constant head causing flow

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{4.5\times175\times10^{-1}}{\dfrac{\pi(175\times10^{-1})^2}{4}\times38}$

$k=8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$

The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(c). We need to calculate the discharge velocity during the test

Using formula of discharge velocity

$v=ki$

$v=\dfrac{kh}{l}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{8.6\times10^{-3}\times38}{17.5}$

$v=0.0187\ cm/s$

The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

(b). We need to calculate the volume of solid in the ample

Using formula of volume

$V_{s}=\dfrac{M_{s}}{V_{s}}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{s}=\dfrac{4950\times10^{-3}}{2710}$

$V_{s}=1826.56\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the volume of the soil specimen

Using formula of volume

$V=A\times L$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\dfrac{\pi(17.5)^2}{4}\times17.5$

$V=4209.24\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the volume of the voids

$V_{v}=V-V_{s}$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{v}=4209.24-1826.56$

$V_{v}=2382.68\ cm^3$

We need to calculate the seepage velocity

Using formula of velocity

$Av=A_{v}v_{s}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{Av}{A_{v}}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{V}{V_{v}}\times v$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{s}=\dfrac{4209.24}{2382.68}\times0.0187$

$v_{s}=0.0330\ cm/s$

The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

Hence, (a). The coefficient of permeability is $8.6\times10^{-3}\ cm/s$ .

(b). The seepage velocity is 0.0330 cm/s.

(c). The discharge velocity during the test is 0.0187 cm/s.

If the potential due to a point charge is 490 V at a distance of 10 m, what are the sign and magnitude of the charge?

uysha [10]

Answer:

+5.4×10⁻⁷ C

Explanation:

Electric potential: This can be defined as the work done in bringing a unit charge from infinity to that point against the action of the field. The S.I unit of potential is volt (V)

The formula for potential is

V = kq/r............................ Equation 1

Where V = electric potential, k = proportionality constant, q = charge, r = distance.

making q the subject of the equation,

q = Vr/k............................ Equation 2

Given: V = 490 V, r = 10 m,

Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute into equation 2

q = 490(10)/(9×10⁹)

q = 5.4×10⁻⁷ C

q = +5.4×10⁻⁷ C

Hence the charge is +5.4×10⁻⁷ C
