Answer:

A. 0.4

B. 1.003

C. 0.83

Explanation:

The void ratio of a mixture is defined as the ratio of the volume of voids to volume of solids.

Total volume of soil = 1/30 ft3

= 1 ft3/30 * 0.0283 m3/1 ft3

= 9.43 x 10^-4 m3

Mass of water is in the soil = 20% * 4.8

= 0.96 pounds of water

= 0.96 * 0.454

= 0.44 kg

SG = density of substance/density of water

= 2.66 * 1 kg/l

Density of the soil = 2.660 kg/l

Mass of solid = 80 %

= 80% * 4.8 * 0.454

= 1.74 kg

Volume of solids = mass/density

= 1.74/2.66

= 6.63 l

= 6.63 x 10^-4 m3.

The volume of voids is found by adding the volume of water and the volume of air.

Total volume of soil = volume of (solids + voids)

9.43 x 10^-4 = 6.63 x 10^-4 + voids

Volume of voids = 2.8 x 10^-4 m3

A.

Void ratio = volume of void : volume of solids

= 2.8 : 6.63

= 0.4

B.

Y = (1 + w) * Gs * Yw * (1 + e)

Y = moist unit weight

Yw = unit weight of water

w = moisture content of the material

Gs = pecific gravity of the solid

e = void ratio

= (1 + 0.2) * 2.66 * 0.44 * (1 + 0.4)

= 1.003.

C.

gd = Y/(1 + w)

Or

= Gs * Yw * 1/(1 + e)

= 0.83.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

a)  m=0.17kg/s

b)  Ma=0.89

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure P=60kPa

Diameter d=3cm

Generally at sea level

T_0=288k\\\\\rho_0=1.225kg/m^3\\\\P_0=101350Pa\\\\r=1.4

Generally the Power series equation for Mach number is mathematically given by

\frac{p_0}{p}=(1+\frac{r-1}{2}Ma^2)^{\frac{r}{r-1}}

\frac{101350}{60*10^3}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}Ma^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

Ma=0.89

Therefore

Mass flow rate

\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}(0.89)^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

\frac{1.225}{\rho}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}(0.89)^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

\rho=0.848kg/m^3

Generally the equation for Velocity at throat is mathematically given by

V=Ma(r*T_0\sqrt{T_e})

Where

T_e=\frac{P_e}{R\rho}\\\\T_e=\frac{60*10^6}{288*0.842\rho}

T_e=248

Therefore

V=0.89(1.4*288\sqrt{248})\\\\V=284

Generally the equation for Mass flow rate is mathematically given by

m=\rho*A*V

m=0.84*\frac{\pi}{4}*3*10^{-2}*284

m=0.17kg/s

Define waves as it applies to electromagnetic fields
julsineya [31]

Waves in the electric and magnetic fields are known as electromagnetic waves. You must first understand what a field is, which is just a technique of giving each square inch of space a numerical value. You may see that as a temperature field, for instance, when you look at the weather predictions and they mention the temperature in several locations. Every location on Earth has a unique temperature that can be quantified. Everywhere on Earth has its own wind velocity, which is another form of field. This field differs somewhat from the temperature field in that the wind velocity has both a direction and a magnitude, whereas the temperature just has a magnitude (how hot it is). A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, hence a field that contains vectors at every location is referred to as a vector field. Vector fields include the magnetic and electric fields. We may examine what would happen if we placed a charged particle at any given position in space. If the charged particle were to accelerate, we would state that the electric field there is the direction in which the particle is moving. In general, positively charged particles will move in the electric field's direction, whereas negatively charged particles will move in the opposite way. Because it is a vector field, the magnetic field exhibits comparable behavior. We discovered in the 19th century that the same interaction, electromagnetism, really produces both electric and magnetic fields. Like an electromagnet, a changing electric field will produce a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field will induce an electric field (like in a generator). If your system is configured properly, you may have an electric field that fluctuates, which in turn produces a magnetic field, which in turn induces another electric field, which in turn generates another magnetic field, and so on indefinitely. At the speed of light, this oscillation between a strong magnetic field and strong electric field spreads out indefinitely. In reality, light is an electromagnetic wave—an oscillation in the electromagnetic fields. An electric or magnetic field may exist without a medium since they exist in a vacuum, which implies that waves in these fields don't require a medium like sound to flow through.

Tech A says that in some cases, the electronic brake control module can be programmed with a new tire size to restore proper ele
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Both Techs A and B

Explanation:

Electronic braking systems are controlled by the electronic brake control module. It is a microprocessor that processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to determine when to release braking pressure at a wheel that's about to lock up and start skidding  and activates the anti lock braking system or traction system when it detects it is necessary.

Some electronic brake control modules can be programmed to the size of the vehicle's new tires to restore proper electronic brake control performance. While others may require replacing the module to match the module's programming to the installed tire size. So, both technicians A and B are correct.

Takt time is the rate at which a factory must produce to satisfy the customer's demand. a)- True b)- False
laila [671]

Answer: a)True

Explanation: Takt time is defined as the average time difference between  the production of the two consecutive unit of goods by the manufacturer and this rate is matched with the demand of the customer. This is the time which is calculated to find the acceptable time for which the goods unit must be produced  by the factory to meet the needs of the customer. Therefore , the statement is true that takt time is the rate at which a factory must produce to satisfy the customer's demand.
