Answer: hello the complete question is attached below

answer:

A) Group symbol = SW

B) Group name = well graded sand , fine to coarse sand

C) It is not a clean sand given that ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200

Explanation:

<u>A) Classifying the soil according to USCS system</u>

( using 2nd image attached below )

<em>description of sand</em> :

The soil is a coarse sand since ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200 sieve, also

The soil is a sand given that more than 50% particles passed from No 4 sieve

The soil can be a clean sand given that fines ≤ 12%

The soil can be said to be a well graded sand because the percentage of particles passing through decreases gradually over time

Group symbol as per the 2nd image attached below = SW

B) Group name = well graded sand , fine to coarse sand

C) It is not a clean sand given that ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200

You are hitting a nail with a hammer (mass of hammer =1.8lb) the initial velocity of the hammer is 50 mph (73.33 ft/sec). The ti

Archy [21]

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically $\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}$

The momentum of any body is defines as $\overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}$

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}$

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds$

2.) A fluid moves in a steady manner between two sections in a flow

Talja [164]

Answer:

$250\ \text{lbm/min}$

$625\ \text{ft/min}$

Explanation:

$A_1$ = Area of section 1 = $10\ \text{ft}^2$

$V_1$ = Velocity of water at section 1 = 100 ft/min

$v_1$ = Specific volume at section 1 = $4\ \text{ft}^3/\text{lbm}$

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $0.2\ \text{lb/ft}^3$

$A_2$ = Area of section 2 = $2\ \text{ft}^2$

Mass flow rate is given by

$m=\rho A_1V_1=\dfrac{A_1V_1}{v_1}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{10\times 100}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=250\ \text{lbm/min}$

The mass flow rate through the pipe is $250\ \text{lbm/min}$

As the mass flowing through the pipe is conserved we know that the mass flow rate at section 2 will be the same as section 1

$m=\rho A_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{m}{\rho A_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{250}{0.2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=625\ \text{ft/min}$

The speed at section 2 is $625\ \text{ft/min}$ .
