The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankment has a mass unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf and a water content

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Given information

Bulk unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf

Water content of 7.3%,=0.073

Specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.62

Specifications

Dry unit weight is 113 lb/cf

Water content is 6%.

Volume of embankment is 440,000-cy

Borrow material

$Dry_{unit,weight}=\frac {bulk_{unit,weight}}{1+water_{content}}=\frac {107}{1+0.073}= 99.72041 lb/cf$

Embankment

Considering that the volume of embankment is inversely proportional to the dry unit weight

$\frac {V_{embankment}}{V_{borrow}}=\frac {Dry_{borrow}}{Dry_{embankment}}$

Therefore, $V_{borrow}=V_{embankment} *\frac {Dry_{embarkement}}{Dry_{borrow}}$

$V_{borrow}=440,000-cy*\frac {113 lb/cf }{99.72041 lb/cf }= 498594-cy$

Therefore, volume of borrow material is 498594-cy

(b)

The weight of water in embankment is found by multiplying the moisture content and dry unit weight.

Assuming that all the specifications are achieved, weight of water in embankment=0.06*113=6.78 lb/cf

Since $1 yd^{3}= 27 ft^{3}$

The embankment requires water of 6.78*27*440000= 80546400 lb

Borrow materials’ water will also be 0.073*99.72041=7.27959 lb/cf

Borrow material requires water of 7.27959*27*498594=97998120 lb

Extra water between borrow material and embankment=97998120 lb-80546400 lb=17451720 lb

$Unit_{weight}=\frac {17451720}{498594}=35.00186 lb$

1 gallon is approximately $8.35 yd^{3}$ hence

$\frac {35.00186 lb/yd^{3}}{8.35}=4.19184 gallons/yd^{3}$

That's approximately 4.2 gallons

Tahir travel twice as far as ahmed, but onley one third as fast. Ahmed starts travel on tuesday at noon at point x to point z 30

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

6:00 pm the next day

Explanation:

Given that

Tahir traveled twice as far as Ahmed. We say,

Ahmed traveled a distance, D

Tahir would travel a distan, 2D

Tahir traveled 1/3 as fast as Ahmed, so we say

Ahmed traveled at a speed, S

Tahir would travel at a speed, S/3

If Ahmed starts travel on tuesday at noon at point x to point z 300km, by 9:00pm,

Time taken by Ahmed to travel is

9:00 pm - 12:00 pm = 9 hours

Ahmed, traveled 300 km in 9 hours, meaning he traveled at 33.3 km in an hour.

Speed, S that Ahmed traveled with is 33.3 km/h

Remember, we stated that Tahir travels at a speed of S/3, that is, The speed of Tahir is

33.3/3 = 11.1 km/h.

300 km would then be traveled in 300 km/11.1 km/h = 27 hours.

Tahir started traveling, 3 hours after Ahmed, that is 12:00 pm + 3:00 hrs = 3:00 pm, and if he's to spend 27 hours on the journey he would reach destination z at 6:00 pm the next day

Is an isothermal process necessarily internally reversible? Explain your answer with an example

torisob [31]

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

Example of an irreverseble isothermal process is mixing of two fluids on the same temperature - it requires a lot of energy to unmix Jack and coke. ... Example of an reversible process with changing temperature is isentropic expansion.
