Answer:

Gs = 2.647

e = 0.7986

Explanation:

We know that moist unit weight of soil is given as

\gamma_m \ or\ bulk\ density = \frac{(Gs+Se)\times \gamma_w}{(1+e)}

where,  \gamma_m = moist unit weight of the soil

Gs = specific gravity of the soil

S = degree of saturation

e = void ratio

\gamma_w = unit weight of water = 9.81 kN/m3

From data given we know that:

At 50% saturation,\gamma_m = 16.62 kN/m3

puttng all value to get Gs value;

16.62= \frac{(Gs+0.5*e)\timees 9.81}{(1+e)}

Gs - 1.194*e = 1.694 .........(1)

for saturaion 75%, unit weight = 17.71 KN/m3

17.71 = \frac{(Gs+0.75*e)\times 9.81}{(1+e)}

Gs - 1.055*e = 1.805 .........(2)

solving both  equations (1) and (2), we obtained;

Gs = 2.647

e = 0.7986

A storm sewer is carrying snow melt containing 1.2 g/L of sodium chloride into a small stream. The stream has a naturally occurr
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Given Data:

concentration of sewer Csewer = 1.2 g/L

converting into mg/L = Csewer = 1.2 g/L x 1000 mg/g = 1200 mg/L

flow rate of sewer Qsewer = 2000 L/min

concentration of sewer Cstream = 20 mg/L

flow rate of sewer Qstream = 2m3/s

converting Q into L/min = 2m3/s x 1000 x 60 = 120000 L/min

Answer:

The Euler buckling load of a 160-cm-long column will be 1.33 times the Euler buckling load of an equivalent 120-cm-long column.

Explanation:

160 - 120 = 40

120 = 100

40 = X

40 x 100 / 120 = X

4000 / 120 = X

33.333 = X

120 = 100

160 = X

160 x 100 /120 = X

16000 / 120 = X

133.333 = X
