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

How is air pressure affected by the shape of an aircraft wing
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Airplanes' wings are curved on top and flatter on the bottom. That shape makes air flow over the top faster than under the bottom. As a result, less air pressure is on top of the wing. This lower pressure makes the wing, and the airplane it's attached to, move up.

Resistance to impact is an example of a(n)
Anika [276]

Answer:

Mechanical property

Explanation:

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES can be defined as the ability of a metal or material to remain undamaged after different type of forces has been applied or used on them because forces or loads are often applied to metal, material or physical properties which is why MECHANICAL PROPERTIES enables us to know the strength , toughness as well as the hardness of metal and the way this metal perform or react when different forces are applied on them.

Lastly any metal, material or physical properties that has the strength , hardness and resistance to withstand or remain unaffected despite the loads or forces use on them is an example of MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.

Therefore Resistance to impact is an example of a(n) MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.
