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

How can metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock<br>​
bazaltina [42]

This happens due to geologic uplift and the erosion of the rock and soil above them. At the surface, metamorphic rocks will be exposed to weathering processes and may break down into sediment. These sediments could then be compressed to form sedimentary rocks, which would start the entire cycle anew

How would you describe the delegates to the philadelphia convention
marusya05 [52]

<u>Answer:</u>

The Philadelphia convention was attended by all white men. Most delegates to the convention were young men aged between 20 and 30. Some re-owned political figures also attended the convention. The delegates who attended the convention were from mixed backgrounds.

About half the delegates were college graduates and men aged more than 30 were investment bankers or had an interest in the stock market. The delegates were wealthy and educated and so it is believed that the convention did not include the entire American society.
