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.

maria [59]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing part

a) p1 = 454.83 kPa,  p2 = 283.359 Kpa , p3 = 536.423 kpa , p4 = 860.959kPa

b) W12 = 3.4 kJ, W23 = -3.5875 KJ, W34 = -4.0735 KJ, W41 = 3.5875 KJ

c) 5

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of air ( m ) = 1/10 kg

adiabatic index ( k ) = 1.4

temperature for isothermal expansion = 250K

rate of heat transfer ( Q12 ) = 3.4 KJ

temperature for Isothermal compression ( T4 ) = 300k

final volume ( V4 ) = 0.01m ^3

a)  Calculate the pressure, in Kpa, at each of the four principal states

from an ideal gas equation

P4V4 = mRT4 ( input values above )

hence P4 = 860.959kPa

attached below is the detailed solution

b) Calculate work done for each processes

attached below is the detailed solution

C) Calculate the coefficient of performance

attached below is detailed solution

Calculate the change of entropy of 2 kg of air when its temperature increases from 400 K to 500 K at constant pressure equal to
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

0.45516

Explanation:

ENTROPY : Entropy is a measure of molecular disorder it is denoted by S. Entropy is also measured in terms of thermal energy and temperature it is equal to thermal energy per unit temperature.

from the table S₁=1.99194 KJ/kg.k (at 400k)

from the table S₂=2.21952 KJ/kg.k (at 500k)

so total entropy change is given by =m (S₂-S₁)

=2(2.21952-1.99194)

=0.45516

Deffense [45]

Answer: Biometrics

Explanation:

Dual factor authentication refers to an electronic authentication method whereby a user will only be granted an access to an application or a website after the user has successfully been able to present two pieces of evidence which then grants access to the application or website.

Since the technician wants to implement a dual factor authentication system, the biometrics should be implemented during the authorization stage.

Biometrics refers to the body measurements and the calculations that are related to the characteristics of humans. Biometric authentication is used as a form of identification.
