Assume you have 0.5 m3 of soil with a porosity of 40% and an oven-dry weight of 700 kg. Calculate the bulk density. Next, assume

that I drive over the soil with heavy equipment, compact the soil, and reduce the total porosity to 20%. Calculate the bulk density after compaction.

Answer:

bulk density = 1400 kg/m³

bulk density  after compaction = 1750 kg/m³

Explanation:

given data

volume = 0.5 m³

porosity = 40%

oven-dry weight = 700 kg

reduce the total porosity = 20%

to find out

bulk density and bulk density after compaction

solution

we know bulk density formula that is

bulk density = \frac{weight}{volume}          ...............................1

put here value we get

bulk density = \frac{700}{0.5}    

bulk density = 1400 kg/m³

and

if porosity decrease 20 % that mean volume change

so total volume = 0.5 \frac{80}{100}

total volume = 0.4 m³

so bulk density after compaction is from equation 1  

bulk density =  \frac{700}{0.4}  

bulk density  after compaction = 1750 kg/m³

What are the fundamental roles of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard in the implementation of the National Naval Strat
aalyn [17]

The naval strategy is the preparation and execution of combat at sea. Naval strategy and the associated theory of maritime strategy involves the comprehensive strategy for gaining supremacy at sea, which includes the planning and execution of operations, the action and disposition of naval units by which a leader achieves the benefit of struggling at a place accessible to himself, and the deception of the opponent. The following are the  fundamental functions of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard in the execution of the National Naval Strategy:

1. Secure strategic passage and maintain the global choice of action.

2. Extend existing and developing partnerships and alliances

3. Secure favorable defense requirements

4. guard the U.S. against direct invasion
