Answer:

Explanation:

A- Specific gravity and Absorption Test: Specific gravity is a measure of a material’s density as compared to the density of water at 73.4°F (23°C). Therefore, by definition, water at a temperature of 73.4°F (23°C) has a specific gravity of 1. Absorption is also determined by the same test procedure and it is a measure of the amount of water that an aggregate can absorb into its pore structure.

Specific gravity is used in a number of applications including Superpave mix design, deleterious particle identification and separation and material property change identification while

B- Soundness Test : This determines an aggregate's resistance to disintegration by weathering and in particular, freeze-thaw cycles. Aggregates that are durable (resistant to weathering) are less likely to degrade in the field and cause premature HMA pavement distress and potentially failure.It is used to identify the excess amount of lime in cement.

C - Sieve analysis Test: is a practice or procedure used to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction of the whole mass. This test is used to describe the properties of the aggregate and to see if it is appropriate for various civil engineering purposes such as selecting the appropriate aggregate for concrete mixes and asphalt mixes as well as sizing of water production well screens.

A satellite orbits the Earth every 2 hours at an average distance from the Earth's centre of 8000km. (i) What is the average ang
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

i)ω=3600 rad/s

ii)V=7059.44 m/s

iii)F=1245.8 N

Explanation:

i)

We know that angular speed given as

\omega =\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}

We know that for one revolution

θ=2π

Given that time t= 2 hr

So

ω=θ/t

ω=2π/2 = π rad/hr

ω=3600 rad/s

ii)

Average speed V

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

Where M is the mass of earth.

R is the distance

G is the constant.

Now by putting the values

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{8000\times 10^3}}

V=7059.44 m/s

iii)

We know that centripetal fore given as

F=\dfrac{mV^2}{R}

Here given that m= 200 kg

R= 8000 km

so now by putting the values

F=\dfrac{mV^2}{R}

F=\dfrac{200\times 7059.44^2}{8000\times 10^3}

F=1245.8 N

A double-pane insulated window consists of two 1 cm thick pieces of glass separated by a 1.8 cm layer of air. The window measure
Elanso [62]

Answer:

(b). T = 22.55 ⁰C

(c). q = 557.8 W

Explanation:

we take follow a step by step process to solving this problem.

from the question, we have that

The two glass pieces is separated by a 1.8 cm distance layer of air.

the thickness of glass piece is 1 cm

width = 4 m

the height = 3 m

(a). the sketch of the thermal circuit is uploaded in the picture below.

(b).  the thermal resistance due to the conduction in the first glass plane is given thus;

R₁ = Lg / Kg A ................(1)

given that Kg rep. the thermal conductivity of the glass plane

A = conduction surface area

Lg = Thickness of glass plane4

taking the thermal conductivity of glass plane as Kg = 0.78 w/mk

inputting values into equation (1) we have,

R₁ = [1 (cm) ˣ 1 (m)/100 (cm)] / [(0.78 w/mk)(4m ˣ 3m)]

R₁ = 1.068 ˣ 10 ⁻³ k/w

Being that we have same thermal resistance in the first and second plane,

therefore R₁ = R₃ = 1.068 ˣ 10 ⁻³ k/w

⇒ Also the thermal resistance between air and glass as a result of the conduction by the layer is given thus

R₂ = La/KaA .....................(2)

given Ka = thermal conductivity of air

A = surface area

La = thickness of air

substituting values into the equation we have

R₂ = [1.8 (cm) ˣ 1 (m)/100 (cm)] / [(0.0262 w/mk)(4m ˣ 3m)]

R₂ = 5.73 ˣ 10⁻² k/w

Given the thermal resistance on the outer surface due to convection, we have

R₄ = 1/hA

inputting value gives R₄ = 1 / (12 w/m² ˣ 12m) = 6.94 ˣ 10⁻³k/w

R₄ = 6.94 ˣ 10⁻³k/w

Finally the sum total of thermal resistance = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄

R-total = 0.0663 kw

From this we can calculate the rate of heat loss

using  q = Ti - To / R-total ..............(3)

given Ti and To is the inside and outside temperature i.e. 27⁰C and -10⁰C

from equation (3),

q = 27- (-10) / 0.0063 = 557.8 W

q = 557.8 W  

⇒ Applying the heat transfer formula for inside surface glass temperature gives;

q = Ti - T₂ / R₃ + R₄

T₂ = Ti - q (R₃ + R₄)

T₂ = 27 - 557.8 (1.068ˣ10⁻³ + 6.94ˣ10⁻³ ) = 22.55°C

T₂ = 22.55°C

cheers i hope this helps
