A CL soil is being used for compacted fill on a project. A sample of the compacted soil with a total volume of 1/30 ft3 weighs 4

.80 pounds. The water content was determined to be 20 percent and the specific gravity is 2.66. Compute the void ratio, moist unit weight and dry unit weight, gd.

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.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

He wore his black suit, another color of shirt (not purple) and shoes

Explanation:

Holmes owns two suits: one black and one tweed.

Whenever he wears his tweed suit and a purple shirt, he chooses not to wear a tie and whenever he wears sandals, he always wears a purple shirt.

So, if he wore a bow tie yesterday, it means he wore his black suit, another color of shirt (not purple) and shoes because the shirt color is not purple

5. A typical paper clip weighs 0.59 g and consists of BCC iron. Calculate (a) the number of
marta [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.185*10^{21} cells

(b) 6.37*10^{21} atoms

Explanation:

(a)

Volume, V of unit cell

V=(2.866*10^{-8})^{3}=2.354*10^{-23}

Number of unit cells, N

N=\frac {W_{mat}}{V\rho_{mat}} Where W_{mat} is weight of material and \rho_{mat} is density of material

N=\frac{0.59}{7.87*(2.354*10^{-23}}=3.185*10^{21} cells

(b)

Number of atoms in paper clip

This is a product of number of unit cells and number of atoms per cell

Since iron has 2 atoms per cell

Number of atoms of iron=3.185*10^{21} cells*2 atoms/cell=6.37*10^{21} atoms

Compared to 15 mph on a dry road, about how much longer will it take for
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

8 to 10 times

Explanation:

For dry road

u= 15 mph        ( 1 mph = 0.44 m/s)

u= 6.7 m/s

Let take coefficient of friction( μ) of dry road is 0.7

So the de acceleration a = μ g

a= 0.7 x 10  m/s ²                         ( g=10 m/s ²)

a= 7 m/s ²

We know that

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 6.7 - 7 x t

t= 0.95 s

For snow road

μ = 0.4

de acceleration a = μ g

a = 0.4 x 10 = 4 m/s ²

u= 30 mph= 13.41 m/s

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 30 - 4 x t'

t'=7.5 s

t'=7.8 t

We can say that it will take 8 to 10 times more time as compare to dry road for stopping the vehicle.

8 to 10 times
