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

Determine the maximum height (in inches) that a lift pump can raise water (0.9971 g/ml) from a well at normal atmospheric pressu

solniwko [45]

Answer:Height = 30 inches

Mass of water / Volume of water x Gravity constant for Earth x Density of Water. This cancels out to give us mass/volume, which is then cancelling mass, giving us the final unit of length/area (in this case inches).

Explanation:

Height = 30 inches.

Units cancelled:

30/30 x 9.8 x 0.9971 = 30/39.97

The final units are in inches!

2. Determine the weight (in pounds) that an ice cube at 32°F will displace when placed in water at 75°F.

Weight of ice cube / Volume of water x Gravity constant for Earth x Density of Ice = Weight displaced by ice cube in pounds

Weight of ice cube / Volume of water x Gravity constant for Earth x Density of Ice = 0.5/75 x 32 x 0.92 = 0.5/22.67

The final units are in pounds!

3. Determine the mass (in grams) of an ice cube at 32°F when placed in water at 75°F (assume no change in volume).

Mass of Ice Cube / Volume of Water x Gravity constant for Earth x Density of Ice = Mass of ice cube in grams

Mass of Ice Cube / Volume of Water x Gravity constant for Earth x Density of Ice = 0.5/75 x 32 x 0.92 = 15/22.67

The final units are in grams!

What are the risks of biohacking? Do you think the risks of biohacking outweigh the advantages? Why or why not?

maksim [4K]

Explanation:

Despite its futuristic outlook and results biohacking remains a largely unsupervised, dangerous if not illegal movement. Though the research and results produced by biohackers is ground breaking, it also breaks several ethical codes on human experimentation and endangering live of several humans.

I agree with the fact that risks outweigh advantages, but you can do things like:

- 3D Printing Body Parts

- Finding Cures

- Correcting Deformites.

The only issue is that it's illegal, unfortunately.

#5 Air undergoes an adiabatic compression in a piston-cylinder assembly from P1= 1 atm and Ti=70 oF to P2= 5 atm. Employing idea

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The work transfer per unit mass is approximately 149.89 kJ

The heat transfer for an adiabatic process = 0

Explanation:

The given information are;

P₁ = 1 atm

T₁ = 70°F = 294.2611 F

P₂ = 5 atm

γ = 1.5

Therefore, we have for adiabatic system under compression

$T_{2} = T_{1}\cdot \left (\dfrac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} \right )^{\dfrac{\gamma -1}{\gamma }}$

Therefore, we have;

$T_{2} = 294.2611 \times \left (\dfrac{5}{1} \right )^{\dfrac{1.5 -1}{1.5 }} \approx 503.179 \ K$

The p·dV work is given as follows;

$p \cdot dV = m \cdot c_v \cdot (T_2 - T_1)$

Therefore, we have;

Taking air as a diatomic gas, we have;

$C_v = \dfrac{5\times R}{2} = \dfrac{5\times 8.314}{2} = 20.785 \ J/(mol \cdot K)$

The molar mass of air = 28.97 g/mol

Therefore, we have

$c_v = \dfrac{C_v}{Molar \ mass} = \dfrac{20.785}{28.97} \approx 0.7175 \ kJ/(kg \cdot K)$

The work done per unit mass of gas is therefore;

$p \cdot dV =W = 1 \times 0.7175 \times (503.179 - 294.2611) \approx 149.89 \ kJ$

The work transfer per unit mass ≈ 149.89 kJ

The heat transfer for an adiabatic process = 0.

Define waves as it applies to electromagnetic fields

julsineya [31]

Waves in the electric and magnetic fields are known as electromagnetic waves. You must first understand what a field is, which is just a technique of giving each square inch of space a numerical value. You may see that as a temperature field, for instance, when you look at the weather predictions and they mention the temperature in several locations. Every location on Earth has a unique temperature that can be quantified. Everywhere on Earth has its own wind velocity, which is another form of field. This field differs somewhat from the temperature field in that the wind velocity has both a direction and a magnitude, whereas the temperature just has a magnitude (how hot it is). A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, hence a field that contains vectors at every location is referred to as a vector field. Vector fields include the magnetic and electric fields. We may examine what would happen if we placed a charged particle at any given position in space. If the charged particle were to accelerate, we would state that the electric field there is the direction in which the particle is moving. In general, positively charged particles will move in the electric field's direction, whereas negatively charged particles will move in the opposite way. Because it is a vector field, the magnetic field exhibits comparable behavior. We discovered in the 19th century that the same interaction, electromagnetism, really produces both electric and magnetic fields. Like an electromagnet, a changing electric field will produce a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field will induce an electric field (like in a generator). If your system is configured properly, you may have an electric field that fluctuates, which in turn produces a magnetic field, which in turn induces another electric field, which in turn generates another magnetic field, and so on indefinitely. At the speed of light, this oscillation between a strong magnetic field and strong electric field spreads out indefinitely. In reality, light is an electromagnetic wave—an oscillation in the electromagnetic fields. An electric or magnetic field may exist without a medium since they exist in a vacuum, which implies that waves in these fields don't require a medium like sound to flow through.
