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

Two identical billiard balls can move freely on a horizontal table. Ball a has a velocity V0 and hits balls B, which is at rest,
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Velocity of ball B after impact is 0.6364v_0 and ball A is 0.711v_0

Explanation:

v_0 = Initial velocity of ball A

v_A=v_0\cos45^{\circ}

v_B = Initial velocity of ball B = 0

(v_A)_n' = Final velocity of ball A

v_B' = Final velocity of ball B

e = Coefficient of restitution = 0.8

From the conservation of momentum along the normal we have

mv_A+mv_B=m(v_A)_n'+mv_B'\\\Rightarrow v_0\cos45^{\circ}+0=(v_A)_n'+v_B'\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_n'+v_B'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

Coefficient of restitution is given by

e=\dfrac{v_B'-(v_A)_n'}{v_A-v_B}\\\Rightarrow 0.8=\dfrac{v_B'-(v_A)_n'}{v_0\cos45^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow v_B'-(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{0.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

(v_A)_n'+v_B'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

v_B'-(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{0.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

Adding the above two equations we get

2v_B'=\dfrac{1.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0\\\Rightarrow v_B'=\dfrac{0.9}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

\boldsymbol{\therefore v_B'=0.6364v_0}

(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0-0.6364v_0\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_n'=0.07071v_0

From the conservation of momentum along the plane of contact we have

(v_A)_t'=(v_A)_t=v_0\sin45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_t'=\dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}}

v_A'=\sqrt{(v_A)_t'^2+(v_A)_n'^2}\\\Rightarrow v_A'=\sqrt{(\dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}})^2+(0.07071v_0)^2}\\\Rightarrow \boldsymbol{v_A'=0.711v_0}

Velocity of ball B after impact is 0.6364v_0 and ball A is 0.711v_0.

What are the advantages of studying a scheduled course over a more freeform one?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Taking responsibility for your own learning makes it easier to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Once these have been identified you can work on a learning plan that focuses on the areas that you need most help with, increasing the speed of your learning, and build the skills you have been trying to perfect.
