Answer:
M_c = 100.8 Nm
Explanation:
Given:
F_a = 2.5 KN
Find:
Determine the moment of this force about C for the two cases shown.
Solution:
- Draw horizontal and vertical vectors at point A.
- Take moments about point C as follows:
M_c = F_a*( 42 / 150 ) *144
M_c = 2.5*( 42 / 150 ) *144
M_c = 100.8 Nm
- We see that the vertical component of force at point A passes through C.
Hence, its moment about C is zero.
Answer:
Saturated zone is area below the water table in which the soil is completely saturated with groundwater.
Explanation:
The saturated zone lies below the ground. It is mainly the lower zone of rock along with the water table where pore spaces are completely filled with water. Even the saturated zone is sometimes separated into 2 subzones: the phreatic zone and the capillary fringe.
The area where pores spaces are not saturated with water is also unsaturated zone. Localized saturated zones can occur within the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone lies above the groundwater table.
