Answer:

a.)

US Sieve no.                         % finer (C₅ )

4                                                  100

10                                                95.61

20                                               82.98

40                                               61.50

60                                               42.08

100                                              20.19

200                                              6.3

Pan                                               0

b.) D10 = 0.12, D30 = 0.22, and D60 = 0.4

c.) Cu = 3.33

d.) Cc = 1

Explanation:

As given ,

US Sieve no.             Mass of soil retained (C₂ )

4                                            0

10                                          18.5

20                                         53.2

40                                         90.5

60                                         81.8

100                                        92.2

200                                       58.5

Pan                                        26.5

Now,

Total weight of the soil = w = 0 + 18.5 + 53.2 + 90.5 + 81.8 + 92.2 + 58.5 + 26.5 = 421.2 g

⇒ w = 421.2 g

As we know that ,

% Retained = C₃ = C₂×\frac{100}{w}

∴ we get

US Sieve no.               % retained (C₃ )               Cummulative % retained (C₄)

4                                            0                                           0

10                                          4.39                                      4.39

20                                         12.63                                     17.02

40                                         21.48                                     38.50

60                                         19.42                                     57.92

100                                        21.89                                     79.81

200                                       13.89                                     93.70

Pan                                        6.30                                      100

Now,

% finer = C₅ = 100 - C₄

∴ we get

US Sieve no.               Cummulative % retained (C₄)          % finer (C₅ )

4                                                     0                                          100

10                                                  4.39                                      95.61

20                                                 17.02                                     82.98

40                                                 38.50                                    61.50

60                                                 57.92                                    42.08

100                                                79.81                                     20.19

200                                                93.70                                   6.3

Pan                                                 100                                        0

The grain-size distribution is :

b.)

From the diagram , we can see that

D10 = 0.12

D30 = 0.22

D60 = 0.12

c.)

Uniformity Coefficient = Cu = \frac{D60}{D10}

⇒ Cu = \frac{0.4}{0.12} = 3.33

d.)

Coefficient of Graduation = Cc = \frac{D30^{2}}{D10 . D60}

⇒ Cc = \frac{0.22^{2}}{(0.4) . (0.12)} = 1

Describe the algorithm you use for looking up a person’s telephone number in the phone book. The input is person’s name; the out
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The Algorithm for finding a number from a phone book with the person's name as the input and the phone number as output is as follows:

1. Try to remember the name, i.e last name first and first name last, Also make sure you get the spelling right.

2. Using the first letter of the last name, locate the appropriate alphabetical section in which the name should appear.

3. Using the second letter of the last name, find the subsection of first and second letters combined, in the appropriate order, in which the name should appear. (If the last name consists of only two letters, find the appropriate first name.)

4. Using the third letter, find the possible names in a subsection of the first three letters in the correct order. Continue this step with x+1 letters of the name until you have a subsection of names exactly matching the last name of the person whose number you are trying to locate. (x is the number of letters used in the previous step, consistently.) If there is only one of the last name, (check for duplicates) identify the number, and return phone number information.

5. Begin the second step using the first letter of the first name, but limit the section to only those exactly matching the last name. Continue to step 4, again focusing on the first name only within the set of exactly matching last names.

6. When both first and last name match the name you are locating, check for duplicates. IF there are no duplicates, return phone number information.

Explanation:

People's names are generally arranged in phone books in alphabetical order by the last name of the person. The first name of the person is listed after the last name so that people of the same last name can be differentiated.

You’ve experienced convection cooling if you’ve ever extended your hand out the window of a moving vehicle or into a flowing wat
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Condition A

Heat flux is 1400 W/M^2

Condition B

Heat flux is 12800 w/m^2

Explanation:

Given that:

T_s is given as  30 degree celcius

condition A

Air temperature =  - 5 degree c

convection coefficient h = 40 w/m^2. k

heat\ flux = \frac{Q}{a}= h\Delta = 40{30 - (-5)} = 1400 w/m^2

condition A

water temperature  = 10 degree c

convection coefficient = 800 w/m^2.k

heat\ flux = \frac{Q}{A} = H(\Delta} = 800\times (30-14) = 12800w/m^2

valina [46]

Answer:

People have come up with all sorts of inventive ways of measuring length. The most intuitive are right at our fingertips. That is, they are based upon the human body: the foot, the hand, the fingers or the length of an arm or a stride.

In ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, one of the first standard measures of length used was the cubit. In Egypt, the royal cubit, which was used to build the most important structures, was based on the length of the pharaoh’s arm from elbow to the end of the middle finger plus the span of his hand. Because of its great importance, the royal cubit was standardized using rods made from granite. These granite cubits were further subdivided into shorter lengths reminiscent of centimeters and millimeters.

Later length measurements used by the Romans (who had taken them from the Greeks, who had taken them from the Babylonians and Egyptians) and passed on into Europe generally were based on the length of the human foot or walking and multiples and subdivisions of that. For example, the pace—one left step plus one right step—is approximately a meter or yard. (On the other hand, the yard did not derive from a pace but from, among other things, the length of King Henry I of England’s outstretched arm.) Mille passus in Latin, or 1,000 paces, is where the English word “mile” comes from.

And thus, the meter has and likely will remain so elegantly defined in these terms for the foreseeable future.
