The storage coefficient of a confined aquifer is 6.8x10-4 determined by a pumping test. The thickness of the aquifer is 50 m and

the porosity is 25%. Determine the fractions of the storage attributable to the expansibility of water and compressibility of the aquifer skeleton in terms of percentages of the storage coefficient of the aquifer.

Answer

given,

storage coefficient, S = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴

thickness of aquifer, t = 50 m

porosity of the aquifer, n = 25 % = 0.25

Density of the water, γ = 9810 N/m³

Compressibilty  of water,β = 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰ m²/N

We know,

   S = γ t(nβ + α)

where, α is the compressibility of the aquifer

   6.8 x 10⁻⁴  =9810 x 50 x (0.25 x 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰+ α)

     α = 1.269 x 10⁻⁹ m²/N

Expansability of water

            = n t β γ

            = 0.25 x 50 x 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰ x 9810

            = 5.73 x 10⁻⁵

A stuntwoman is going to attempt a jump across a canyon that is 77 m wide. The ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower
liq [111]

initial speed of the stuntman is given as

v = 28 m/s

angle of inclination is given as

\theta = 15 degree

now the components of the velocity is given as

v_x = 28 cos15 = 27.04 m/s

v_y = 28 sin15 = 7.25 m/s

here it is given that the ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower than the ramp from which she will leave.

So the displacement in vertical direction is given as

\delta y = -25 m

\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

-25 = 7.25 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2

by solving above equation we have

t = 3.12 s

Now in the above interval of time the horizontal distance moved by it is given by

d_x = v_x * t

d_x = 27.04 * 3.12 = 84.4 m

since the canyon width is 77 m which is less than the horizontal distance covered by the stuntman so here we can say that stuntman will cross the canyon.

The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo
hram777 [196]

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

W-N=0 (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

N=W=14,700 N
