Answer:

A). Dry unit weight = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity  = 0.37

C). Void ratio  = 0.593 

D). 0.712

Explanation:

Total unit weight, Y = 120pcf =1922.2 Kg/m3

Specific gravity of solids, Gs = 2.64

Water content, w = 16%

A). Dry unit weight

Yd = Y/(1+w)

= 1922.2/(1+0.16) = 1657.08Kg/m3

B). Porosity

However void ratio, e = Gs×Yw/Yd, where Yw = 1000Kg/m3

Void ratio = 2.64×1000/1657.08 = 0.593

 

And porosity = e/(1+e) =0.593/(1+0.593) = 0.37

C). void ratio, e = 0.593

D). Degree of saturation, S = m×Gs/e where m =water content

S = 0.16×2.64/0.593 = 0.712

What does a peak flow meter allow you to assess?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

  peak flow and any engineering considerations related thereto

Explanation:

It should be no surprise that a peak flow meter will report peak flow, sometimes with important maximum-value, time-constant, or bandwidth limitations. There are many engineering issues related to flow rates. A peak flow meter can allow you to assess those issues with respect to the flows actually encountered.

Peak flow can allow you to assess adequacy of flow and whether there may be blockages or impediments to flow that reduce peak levels below expected values. An appropriate peak flow meter can help you assess the length of time that peak flow can be maintained, and whether that delivers sufficient volume.

It can also allow you to assess whether appropriate accommodation is made for unexpectedly high flow rates. (Are buffers or overflow tanks of sufficient size? Is there adequate protection against possible erosion? Is there adequate support where flow changes direction?)

Flura [38]

Answer:

-2/√3 atan ((2t + 1)/√3) + C

Explanation:

∫ (t − 1) / (1 − t³) dt

Factor the difference of cubes:

∫ (t − 1) / ((1 − t)(1 + t + t²)) dt

Divide:

∫ -1 / (1 + t + t²) dt

-∫ 1 / (t² + t + 1) dt

Complete the square:

-∫ 1 / (t² + t + ¼ + ¾) dt

-∫ 4 / (4t² + 4t + 1 + 3) dt

-∫ 4 / ((2t + 1)² + 3) dt

If u = 2t + 1, du = 2 dt:

-∫ 2 / (u² + 3) du

Use an integral table, or use trigonometric substitution:

-2 (1/√3) atan (u/√3) + C

-2/√3 atan (u/√3) + C

Substitute back:

-2/√3 atan ((2t + 1)/√3) + C

Aerospace engineers who work for certain government agencies are often required to have security clearance. Explain two reasons
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Two reasons that justify the requirement for security clearance for aerospace engineers working for government agencies are;

1) Such engineers have access to data regarding the blueprint, components, method of construction, functionality status, new systems design, future systems design, inventory of systems and aeronautical systems database which are sensitive information that are of high importance to the federal government

2) Such engineers take part in the testing of aeronautic equipment, and will require security clearance to be able to input data results into the data base of the aeronautic equipment
