The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc

<u>Explanation</u>:

a) Apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

Where,

A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g

B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g

C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g

apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

= $\frac{1034}{1034-675 \cdot 6}$

Apparent specific gravity = 2.88

b) Bulk specific gravity $G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{A}{B-C}$

$G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{1034}{1048.9-675 \cdot 6}$

= 2.76

c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):

$G_{B}^{S S D}=\frac{B}{B-C}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9}{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}$

$G_{B}^{S S D}$ = 2.80

d) Absorption% :

$=\frac{B-A}{A} \times 100 \%$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-1034}{1034} \times 100$

Absorption = 1.44 %

e) Bulk Volume :

$v_{b}=\frac{\text { weight of dispaced water }}{P \omega t}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}{1}$

= $373.3 cc$

Fully developed conditions are known to exist for water flowing through a 25-mm-diameter tube at 0.01 kg/s and 27 C. What is the

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

0.0406 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the tube, D = 25 mm = 0.025 m

cross-sectional area of the tube = (π/4)D² = (π/4)(0.025)² = 4.9 × 10⁻⁴ m²

Mass flow rate = 0.01 kg/s

Now,

the mass flow rate is given as:

mass flow rate = ρAV

where,

ρ is the density of the water = 1000 kg/m³

A is the area of cross-section of the pipe

V is the average velocity through the pipe

thus,

0.01 = 1000 × 4.9 × 10⁻⁴ × V

or

V = 0.0203 m/s

also,

Reynold's number, Re = $\frac{VD}{\nu}$

where,

ν is the kinematic viscosity of the water = 0.833 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

thus,

Re = $\frac{0.0203\times0.025}{0.833\times10^{-6}}$

or

Re = 611.39 < 2000

thus,

the flow is laminar

hence,

the maximum velocity = 2 × average velocity = 2 × 0.0203 m/s

or

maximum velocity = 0.0406 m/s

The acceleration of a particle is given by a = 2t − 10, where a is in meters per second squared and t is in seconds. Determine t

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer

given,

a = 2 t - 10

velocity function

we know,

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=a$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=(2t-10)$

integrating both side

$\int dv =\int (2t -10) dt$

v = t² - 10 t + C

at t = 0 v = 3

so, 3 = 0 - 0 + C

C = 3

Velocity function is equal to v = t² - 10 t + 3

Again we know,

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=v$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=(t^2-10t + 3)$

integrating both side

$\int dx =\int (t^2-10t + 3)dt$

$x = \dfrac{t^3}{3}- 10\dfrac{t^2}{2} + 3 t + C$

now, at t= 0 s = -4

$-4 = \dfrac{0^3}{3}- 10\dfrac{0^2}{2} + 0 + C$

C = -4

So,

$x = \dfrac{t^3}{3}- 10\dfrac{t^2}{2} + 3 t-4$

Position function is equal to $x = \dfrac{t^3}{3}- 10\dfrac{t^2}{2} + 3 t-4$

A pump with a power of 5 kW (pump power, and not useful pump power) and an efficiency of 72 percent is used to pump water from a

almond37 [142]

Answer:

a) The mass flow rate of water is 14.683 kilograms per second.

b) The pressure difference across the pump is 245.175 kilopascals.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that pump works at steady state. The mass flow rate of the water ( $\dot m$ ), in kilograms per second, is determined by following formula:

$\dot m = \frac{\eta \cdot \dot W}{g\cdot H}$ (1)

Where:

$\dot W$ - Pump power, in watts.

$\eta$ - Efficiency, no unit.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

$H$ - Hydrostatic column, in meters.

If we know that $\eta = 0.72$ , $\dot W = 5000\,W$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $H = 25\,m$ , then the mass flow rate of water is:

$\dot m = 14.683\,\frac{kg}{s}$

The mass flow rate of water is 14.683 kilograms per second.

b) The pressure difference across the pump ( $\Delta P$ ), in pascals, is determined by this equation:

$\Delta P = \rho\cdot g\cdot H$ (2)

Where $\rho$ is the density of water, in kilograms per cubic meter.

If we know that $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $H = 25\,m$ , then the pressure difference is:

$\Delta P = 245175\,Pa$

The pressure difference across the pump is 245.175 kilopascals.
