Answer: Load carrying heavy vehicles have large number of wheels in order to reduce pressure on the contact patch on road. With large number of wheels, it becomes easy to distribute the entire pressure of loads in an even manner.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

part a : The dry unit weight is 0.0616  $lb/in^3$ 

part b : The void ratio is 0.77

part c : Degree of Saturation is 0.43

part d : Additional water (in lb) needed to achieve 100% saturation in the soil sample is 0.72 lb

Explanation:

Part a

Dry Unit Weight

The dry unit weight is given as

$\gamma_{d}=\frac{\gamma}{1+\frac{w}{100}}$

Here

$\gamma_d$ is the dry unit weight which is to be calculated
γ is the bulk unit weight given as

$\gamma =weight/Volume \\\gamma= 4 lb / \pi r^2 h\\\gamma= 4 lb / \pi (4/2)^2 \times 4.58\\\gamma= 4 lb / 57.55\\\gamma= 0.069 lb/in^3$

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12%

Substituting values

$\gamma_{d}=\frac{\gamma}{1+\frac{w}{100}}\\\gamma_{d}=\frac{0.069}{1+\frac{12}{100}} \\\gamma_{d}=\frac{0.069}{1.12}\\\gamma_{d}=0.0616 lb/in^3$

The dry unit weight is 0.0616  $lb/in^3$ 

Part b

Void Ratio

The void ratio is given as

$e=\frac{G_s \gamma_w}{\gamma_d} -1$

Here

e is the void ratio which is to be calculated

$\gamma_d$ is the dry unit weight which is calculated in part a
$\gamma_w$ is the water unit weight which is 62.4 $lb/ft^3$ or 0.04 $lb/in^3$

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

Substituting values

$e=\frac{G_s \gamma_w}{\gamma_d} -1\\e=\frac{2.72 \times 0.04}{0.0616} -1\\e=1.766 -1\\e=0.766$

The void ratio is 0.77

Part c

Degree of Saturation

Degree of Saturation is given as

$S=\frac{G w}{e}$

Here

e is the void ratio which is calculated in part b

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction

Substituting values

$S=\frac{G w}{e}\\S=\frac{2.72 \times .12}{0.766}\\S=0.4261$

Degree of Saturation is 0.43

Part d

Additional Water needed

For this firstly the zero air unit weight with 100% Saturation is calculated and the value is further manipulated accordingly. Zero air unit weight is given as

$\gamma_{zav}=\frac{\gamma_w}{w+\frac{1}{G}}$

Here

$\gamma_{zav}$ is the zero air unit weight which is to be calculated

$\gamma_w$ is the water unit weight which is 62.4 $lb/ft^3$ or 0.04 $lb/in^3$

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction

$\gamma_{zav}=\frac{\gamma_w}{w+\frac{1}{G}}\\\gamma_{zav}=\frac{0.04}{0.12+\frac{1}{2.72}}\\\gamma_{zav}=\frac{0.04}{0.4876}\\\gamma_{zav}=0.08202 lb/in^3\\$

Now as the volume is known, the the overall weight is given as

$weight=\gamma_{zav} \times V\\weight=0.08202 \times 57.55\\weight=4.72 lb$

As weight of initial bulk is already given as 4 lb so additional water required is 0.72 lb.

Which statements describe the energy in a food web? Check all that apply. When an organism eats another organism, it loses energ

Neko [114]

Answer: Producers have the greatest amount of available energy.

When an organism eats another organism, it gains energy.

Explanation:

A food chain is a linear sequence of transfer of food and energy when one organism is eaten by the other organism. A food web is the interconnection of two or more food chains. This happens when one organism belong to one food chain also consume organisms of same food chain or other food chain. A food chain includes trophic levels on the basis of the mode of feeding of the living beings.

Among the options given, Producers have the greatest amount of available energy. and

When an organism eats another organism, it gains energy. are correct.

Producers are the organism which are capable of producing their food either through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. They are present at the base level of the food chain. They consist of large amount of energy as compared to all the trophic levels in the food chain.

When one organism eats other organism it gains energy because of the assimilation and digestion of the organism as food.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is $I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm$

If r is $-\frac{a}{2}$

and $dm=\frac{M}{a} dr$

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a} } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}$

$I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\ I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

) Calculate current passing in an electrical circuit if you know that the voltage is 8 volts and the resistance is 10 ohms

Svetach [21]

Explanation:

Hey, there!

Here, In question given that, 

potential difference (V)= 8V

resistance (R)= 10 ohm

Now,

According to the Ohm's law,

V= R×I { where I = current}

or, I = V/R

or, I = 8/10

Therefore, current is 4/5 A or 0.8 A.

(A= ampere = unit of current).

Hope it helps...

1. If you add air to a flat tire through a single small entry hole, why does the air spread out to fill the tire?

ikadub [295]

Answer:

The tire fills up just like anything else that holds air when u pump a ball or tire up it fills all the way up cause it is a small confined space and after filling it with air the atoms of the air fill the tire up
