Answer:
(a)
(b)
Explanation:
(a)
Volume, V of unit cell
Number of unit cells, N
Where
is weight of material and
is density of material
(b)
Number of atoms in paper clip
This is a product of number of unit cells and number of atoms per cell
Since iron has 2 atoms per cell
Number of atoms of iron=
Answer:
The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.
Explanation:
Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil
The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula
where
'H' is the initial depth of the layer
is the Compression index
is the inital void ratio
is the initial effective stress at the depth
is the change in the effective stress at the given depth
Applying the given values we get
