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.

Consider a very long, cylindrical fin. The temperature of the fin at the tip and base are 25 °C and 50 °C, respectively. The dia
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

98°C

Explanation:

Total surface area of cylindrical fin = πr² + 2πrl , r = 0.015m; l= 0.1m; π =22/7

22/7*(0.015)² + 22/7*0.015*0.1 = 7.07 X 10∧-4 + 47.1 X 10∧-4 = (54.17 X 10∧-4)m²

Temperature change, t = (50 - 25)°C = 25°C = 298K

Hence, Temperature =  150 X (54.17 X 10∧-4) X 298/123 = 242.14/124 = 2.00K =

∴ Temperature change = 2.00K

But temperature, T= (373 - 2)K = 371 K

In °C = (371 - 273)K = 98°C

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

a.) a component item is coded at the lowest level at which it appears in the BOM structure is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • Low-level coding is a kind of programming language used in BOM structures and it carries basic commands that are identified by a computer.
  • The two types of low-level coding are
  • Assembly language.
  • machine language.
  • The advantages of using low-level coding are programs develop by using low-level code are very memory effective and quick and there no need to use interpreters for the conversion of the source to machine code.
