Answer:
- Moisture/ water content w = 26%
Explanation:
- Initial mass of saturated soil w1 = mass of soil - weight of container
= 113.27 g - 49.31 g = 63.96 g
- Final mass of soil after oven w2 = mass of soil - weight of container
= 100.06 g - 49.31 g = 50.75
Moisture /water content, w =
=
= 0.26 = 26%
Void ratio = water content X specific gravity of solid
= 0.26 X 2.80 =0.728
Answer: LED have the lowest cost of operation.
Explanation:
If we ignore the initial procurement cost of the items the operational cost of any device consuming electricity is given by

Among the three item's LED consumes the lowest power to give the same level of brightness as compared to the other 2 item's thus LED's shall have the lowest operational cost.
Answer:
Q= 4.6 × 10⁻³ m³/s
actual velocity will be equal to 8.39 m/s
Explanation:
density of fluid = 900 kg/m³
d₁ = 0.025 m
d₂ = 0.05 m
Δ P = -40 k N/m²
C v = 0.89
using energy equation

under ideal condition v₁² = 0
v₂² = 88.88
v₂ = 9.43 m/s
hence discharge at downstream will be
Q = Av
Q =
Q =
Q= 4.6 × 10⁻³ m³/s
we know that

hence , actual velocity will be equal to 8.39 m/s
Answer:
5320.6 Pascal
Explanation:
Manometer is a pressure measuring device use to measure gas pressure .
Pressure difference in Manometer is a function of density,gravity and the height difference of the liquid.
Pressure difference = density x acceleration due to gravity x difference in height of liquid
Density of liquid = specific gravity of object x density of water.
Density of water = 997 kg/m^3
Specific gravity of liquid = 1.7
Density of liquid = 997 x 1.7 =1694.9kg/m^3
g= 9.81 m/s^2
h =320mm = 0.320m
Pressure difference = 1694.9 x 9.81 x 0.320 = 5320.6 Pascal
