9. An embankment having a volume of 320,000 yd is to be constructed from local borrow. The dry unit weight and moisture content

of the borrow material were determined to be 106 pcf and 18.2%, respectively. The embankment material has a total unit weight of 122 pcf and a moisture content of 16.7%. The volume of borrow lyd needed to construct the embankment is most nearly: (A) 274,100 (B) 315,500 (C) 324,500 (D) 373,600

Answer:

correct option is (B) 315,500

Explanation:

given data

volume = 320,000 yd³ = 8640000 ft³

dry unit weight = 106 pcf

moisture content = 18.2%

total unit weight = 122 pcf

moisture content = 16.7%

to find out

volume of borrow lyd needed

solution

first we get here weight of material that is

weight = volume × unit weight

weight = 8640000 × 122

weight = 1054080000 lb

that weight is weight of water + weight of solid so

0.167 × weight is weight of water + weight of solid ) = 1054080000 lb

and weight of solid = $\frac{1054080000}{1.167}$

weight of soil solid is = 903239075 pound

and weight of water = 150840925 pound

so volume of soil = 903239075 ÷ 106 lb/ft³ = 8521123.34 ft³

and volume required = 8521123.34 ft³ ÷ 27 ft³ = 315597.161 yd³

volume required = 315500 yd³

so correct option is (B) 315,500

What is the activation energy (Q) for a vacancy formation if 10 moles of a metal have 2.3 X 10^13 vacancies at 425°C?

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$Activation\ Energy=2.5\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Explanation:

Using the expression shown below as:

$N_v=N\times e^{-\frac {Q_v}{k\times T}$

Where,

$N_v$ is the number of vacancies

N is the number of defective sites

k is Boltzmann's constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}\ J/K$

${Q_v}$ is the activation energy

T is the temperature

Given that:

$N_v=2.3\times 10^{13}$

N = 10 moles

1 mole = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

So,

N = $10\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=6.023\times 10^{24}$

Temperature = 425°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (425 + 273.15) K = 698.15 K

T = 698.15 K

Applying the values as:

$2.3\times 10^{13}=6.023\times 10^{24}\times e^{-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}$

$ln[\frac {2.3}{6.023}\times 10^{-11}]=-\frac {Q_v}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 698.15}$

$Q_v=2.5\times 10^{-19}\ J$

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

For some metal alloy it is known that the kinetics of recrystallization obey the Avrami equation, and that the value of k in the

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

t = 1456.8 sec

Explanation:

given data:

contant k = 2.60*10^{-6}

rate of crystallization is 0.0013 s-1

rate of transformation is given by

$r = \frac{1}{t_0.5}$

use specifies value to solve $t_0.5$

it is ime required for 50% tranformation

$r = \frac{1}{.0013}=769.2 sec$

Avrami equation is given by

$y = 1 - e^{-kt^n}$

$0.5 = 1 - e^{-kt_0.5^n}$

$1-0.5 = e^{-kt_0.5^n}$

$ln (1 - 0.5) = -kt_0.5^n$

$ln \frac{ln (1 - 0.5)}{-k} = nln t_0.5$

$n = \frac{ ln \frac{ln (1 - 0.5)}{-k}}{ln t_0.5}$

$n = \frac{ ln \frac{ln (1 - 0.5)}{-2.60*10^{-6}}}{ln 769.2}$

n = 1.88

second degree of recrystalization may be determine by rearranging original avrami equation

$t = [\frac{-ln(1-y)}{k}]^{1/n}$

for 90%completion

$t = [\frac{-ln(1-0.9)}{2.60*10^{-6}}]^{1/1.88}$

t = 1456.8 sec
