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

A sample of cast iron with .35 wt%C is slow cooled from 1500C to room temperature. What is the fraction of proeutectoid Cementit
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

So the fraction of proeutectoid cementite is 44.3%

Explanation:

Given that

cast iron with 0.35 % wtC and we have to find out fraction of proeutectoid cementite phase when cooled from 1500 C to room temperature.

We know that

Fraction of  proeutectoid cementite phase gievn as

{w_p}'=\dfrac{{C_o}'-0.022}{0.74}

Now by putting the values

{w_p}'=\dfrac{0.35-0.022}{0.74}

{w_p}'=0.443

So the fraction of proeutectoid cementite is 44.3%

Comparison of copper and aluminium conductors looking at their properties
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The density of the copper is higher than aluminium. Hence it is heavier compared to aluminium conductors it requires strong structures and hardware to bear the weight. More ductile and has high tensile strength.

...

Aluminium & Copper properties.

Property Copper (Cu) Aluminium (Al)

Density (g/cm3) 8.96 2.70

As part of the overall systems engineering process, there are a variety of software development methods, but the three most comm
saw5 [17]

The three most common software development methods are the Waterfall Approach, the Incremental Approach, and the SPIRAL Approach. These methods depend on the team size and specific goals.

Software development is the sequential procedure that involves the division of the work into smaller and parallel stages in order to improve software design and product management.

The software development methods depend on both the team size and specific objectives.

The most common methodologies for software development include:

  • Waterfall
  • Spiral
  • Incremental
  • Agile
  • Continuous integration

Suppose that we have a 1000pF parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric charged to 1000V. The capacitor terminals are open ci
N76 [4]

Answer:

W = 1 mJ

V_new = 2000 V

W_new = 2 mJ

The extra energy came from the work done from moving the plates

Explanation:

We are given;

Capacitance; C = 1000pF = 10^(-9) F

Voltage; V = 1000V

Now,formula for stored energy in a parallel plate capacitor is given by;

W = (1/2)CV² = (1/2)(10^(-9))(1000²) = 0.5 mJ

However, in this case, it's W = 0.5 x 2 = 1 mJ since parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric

When plates are moved and distance between plates is doubled(net charge is the same), thus we can calculate voltage from;

Q = CV

Since, C_new = C/2

Thus,

Q = (C/2)V_new

V_new = 2Q/C

Thus, V_new = 2V

Thus, V_new = 2 x 1000 = 2000 V

Now,

W_new = (1/2)C_new•(V_new)² = (1/2) (0.5C)•(2V)² = CV² = 2W = 2 x 1 = 2mJ
