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 plate clutch has a single friction surface 9-in OD by 7-in ID. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the maximum pressure is
Talja [164]

Answer:

the torque capacity is  30316.369 lb-in

Explanation:

Given data

OD = 9 in

ID = 7 in

coefficient of friction = 0.2

maximum pressure = 1.5 in-kip = 1500 lb

To find out

the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure assumption.

Solution

We know the the torque formula for uniform pressure theory is

torque = 2/3 × \pi × coefficient of friction × maximum pressure ( R³ - r³ )    .....................................1

here R = OD/2 = 4.5 in and r = ID/2 = 3.5 in

now put all these value R, r, coefficient of friction and  maximum pressure in equation 1 and we will get here torque

torque = 2/3 × \pi × 0.2 × 1500 ( 4.5³ - 3.5³ )

so the torque =  30316.369 lb-in

A spherical gas container made of steel has a(n) 17-ft outer diameter and a wall thickness of 0.375 in. Knowing that the interna
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Maximum Normal Stress σ = 8.16 Ksi

Maximum Shearing Stress τ = 4.08 Ksi

Explanation:

Outer diameter of spherical container D = 17 ft

Convert feet to inches D = 17 x 12 in = 204 inches

Wall thickness t = 0.375 in

Internal Pressure P = 60 Psi

Maximum Normal Stress σ = PD / 4t

σ = PD / 4t

σ = (60 psi x 204 in) / (4 x 0.375 in)

σ = 12,240 / 1.5

σ = 8,160 P/in

σ = 8.16 Ksi

Maximum Shearing Stress τ = PD / 8t

τ = PD / 8t

τ = (60 psi x 204 in) / (8 x 0.375 in)

τ = 12,240 / 3

τ = 4,080 P/in

τ = 4.08 Ksi
