The natural material in a borrow pit has a mass unit weight of 110.0 pcf and a water content of 6%, and the specific gravity of

the soil solids is 2.63. The specifications require that the soil be compacted to a dry unit weight of 122 lb. per cf and the water content be held to 5.5%.
A. How many cubic yards of borrow are required to construct an embankment having a net section volume of 245,000 cy?

Answer:

A. 288,030.91 cy

B. The amount of water that must be removed from the natural material is 483541.04254 gallons of water

Explanation:

The natural material in the barrow properties are;

The mass unit weight, γ = 110.0 pcf

The water content, w = 6%

The specific gravity of the soil solids, G_s = 2.63

The desired dry unit weight, \gamma _d = 122 pcf

The water content, w₁ = 5.5 %

The net section volume, V_T = 245,000 cy = 6,615,000 ft³

A.  \gamma _d = W_s/V_T

∴ W_s = V_T × \gamma _d = 6,615,000 ft³ × 122 lb/ft³ = 807030000 lbs

w = (W_w/W_s) ×  100

∴ W_w = (w/100) × W_s = (6/100) × 807030000 lbs = 48421800 lbs

The weight of solids

W = W_s + W_w = 807030000 lbs + 48421800 lbs = 855451800 lbs

V = W/γ = 855451800 lbs/(110.0 lb/ft.³) = 7776834.54545 ft.³ = 288,030.91 cy

V = 288,030.91 cy

The amount of cubic yards of borrow required = 288,030.91 cy

B. The volume of water in the required soil is found as follows;

W_{w1} = (w₁/100) × W_s = (5.5/100) × 807030000 lbs = 44386650 lbs

The amount of water that must be added =  W_{w1} - W_w = 44386650 lbs - 48421800 lbs = -4,035,150 lbs

Therefore, 4,035,150 lbs of water must be removed

The density of water, ρ = 8.345 lbs/gal

Therefore, V = 4,035,150 lbs/(8.345 lbs/gal) = 483541.04254 gal  of water must be removed from the natural material

Fluid power is a. The technology that deals with the generation, control, and transmission of power-using pressurized fluids b.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:  a) The technology that deals with the generation, control and transmission of power using pressurized fluids

Explanation: Fluid power is defined as the fluids which are under pressure and then are used for generation,control and transmit the power. Fluid power systems produces high forces as well as power in small amount . These systems usually tend to have better life if maintained properly. The force that are applied on this system can be monitored by gauges as well as meter.
