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

As shown, a load of mass 10 kg is situated on a piston of diameter D1 = 140 mm. The piston rides on a reservoir of oil of depth
telo118 [61]

Answer:

165 mm

Explanation:

The mass on the piston will apply a pressure on the oil. This is:

p = f / A

The force is the weight of the mass

f = m * a

Where a in the acceleration of gravity

A is the area of the piston

A = π/4 * D1^2

Then:

p = m * a / (π/4 * D1^2)

The height the oil will raise is the heignt of a colum that would create that same pressure at its base:

p = f / A

The weight of the column is:

f = m * a

The mass of the column is its volume multiplied by its specific gravity

m  = V * S

The volume is the base are by the height

V = A * h

Then:

p = A * h * S * a / A

We cancel the areas:

p = h * S * a

Now we equate the pressures form the piston and the pil column:

m * a / (π/4 * D1^2) = h * S * a

We simplify the acceleration of gravity

m / (π/4 * D1^2) = h * S

Rearranging:

h = m / (π/4 * D1^2 * S)

Now, h is the heigth above the interface between the piston and the oil, this is at h1 = 42 mm. The total height is

h2 = h + h1

h2 = h1 + m / (π/4 * D1^2 * S)

h2 = 0.042 + 10 / (π/4 * 0.14^2 * 0.8) = 0.165 m = 165 mm

In this type of projection, the angles between the three axes are different:- A) Isometric B) Axonometric C) Trimetric D) Dimetn
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Trimetric

Explanation:

The most suitable answer is a trimetric projection because, in this type of projection, we see that the projection of the three angles between the axes are not equal. Therefore, to generate a trimetric projection of an object, it is necessary to have three separate scales.

What did August Comte contribute to sociology including positivism
Travka [436]

Answer:

Auguste Comte was the first to develop the concept of "sociology." He defined sociology as a positive science. Positivism is the search for "invariant laws of the natural and social world." Comte identified three basic methods for discovering these invariant laws, observation, experimentation, and comparison.

- Viscoelastic stress relaxation
My name is Ann [436]

Explanation:

The correct answers to the fill in the blanks would be;

1. Viscoelastic stress relaxation refers to scenarios for which the stress applied to a polymer must decay over time in order to maintain a constant strain. Otherwise, over time, the polymer chains will slip and slide past one another in response to a constant applied load and the strain will increase (in magnitude).

2. Viscoelastic creep refers to scenarios for which a polymer will permanently flow over time in response a constant applied stress.

The polymer whose properties have been mentioned above is commonly known as Kevlar.

It is mostly used in high-strength fabrics and its properties are because of several hydrogen bonds between polymer molecules.
