How many trips would one rubber-tired Herrywampus have to make to backfill a space with a geometrical volume of 5400 cubic yard?

The maximum capacity of the machine is 30 cubic yard (heaped), or 40 tons. The material is to be compacted with a shrinkage of 25% (relative to bank measure) and has a swell factor of 20% (relative to bank measure). The material weighs 3,000 lb/cu yd (bank). Assume that the machine carries its maximum load on each trip. Check by both weight and volume limitations

Answer:

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Explanation:

a) By volume.

The shrinkage factor is:

\frac{5400cu-yd}{1-0.25} =7200cu-yd

The volume at loose is:

V_{loose} =V_{bank} (1+swell-factor)=7200(1+0.2)=8640cu-yd

If the Herrywampus has a capacity of 30 cubic yard:

\frac{8640cu-yd}{30cu-yd/trip} =288trip

b) By weight

The swell factor in terms of percent swell is equal to:

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{pounds-per-cubic-yard-bank}{\frac{percent-swell}{100}+1 }

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{3000}{\frac{20}{100} +1} =2500lb/cu-yd

The weight of backfill is:

8640cu-yd*2500\frac{lb}{cu-yd} *\frac{1ton}{2000lb} =10800ton

The Herrywampus has a capacity of 40 ton:

\frac{10800}{40ton/trip} =270trip

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

The undisturbed soil at given borrow pit is found to have the following property:
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Determine the weight o ids in the each truck °slim the relation,  

W,=\frac{W}{1+w}

Here, W is net weight of soil and water on the truck and w is water content  

substitute 72 7 kN for W and 15% for w.

you will need to also determine the number of truck loads required using the relation:

Number of truck loads required = \frac{W_{sc} }{W_{s}}

Kindly check the attached image below for the full explanation to the question above.

The Reynolds number is a dimensionless group defined for a fluid flowing in a pipe as Re Durho/μ whereD is pipe diameter, u is f
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

the flow is turbulent

Explanation:

The Reynolds number is given by

Re=ρVD/μ

where

V=fluid speed=0.48ft/s=0.146m/s

D=diameter=2.067in=0.0525m

ρ=density=0.805g/cm^3=805Kg/m^3

μ=0.43Cp=4.3x10^-4Pas

Re=(805)(0.146)(0.0525)/4.3x10^-4=14349.59

Re>2100  the flow is turbulent

Note: if you do not want to use a calculator you can use the graphs to calculate the Reynolds number according to their properties
