[24 points] A sample of soil has a total volume of 205 cm3. The soil mass when saturated is 361 g. A specific yield test was con

ducted on the soil by allowing the sample to drain for 24 hours. After drainage the sample mass was 295 g. The soil was then dried and weighed 284 g. What are the specific yield [8 points], specific retention [8 points], and porosity [8 points] of the sample

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Dry Soil weight = solid soil weight = 284 \ grams

solid soil volume =205 \ cc

saturated mass soil = 361 \ g

The weight of the soil after drainage is =295 \ g

Water weight for soil saturation = (361-284) = 77 \ g

Water volume required for soil saturation =\frac{77}{1} = 77 \ cc

Sample volume of water: = \frac{\text{water density}}{\text{water density input}}

= 361- 295 \\\\ = 66 \ cc

Soil water retained volume = (draining field weight - dry soil weight)

                                             = 295 - 284 \\\\ = 11 \ cc.

\text{POROSITY}= \frac{\text{Vehicle volume}}{\text{total volume Soil}}

                    = \frac{77}{(205 + 77)}  \\\\= \frac{77}{(282)}  \\\\ = 27.30 \%

(Its saturated water volume is equal to the volume of voids)

\text{YIELD SPECIFIC} = \frac{\text{Soil water volume}}{\text{Soil volume total}}

                              = \frac{66}{(205+77)}\\\\= \frac{66}{(282)}\\\\=0.2340\\\\ = 0.23

\text{Specific Retention}= \frac{\text{Volume of soil water}}{\text{Total soil volume}}

                            = \frac{11}{282} \\\\= 0.0390 \\\\ = 0.04

A pump contains 0.5 L of air at 203kPa. You draw back on the piston of the pump until the pressure reads 25.4kPa. What is the vo
densk [106]
<h3><u> Answer</u>;</h3>

= 4.0 L

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure at a constant temperature.

Therefore; <em>Volume α 1/pressure</em>

<em>Mathematically; V α 1/P</em>

<em>V = kP, where k is a constant;</em>

<em>P1V1 = P2V2</em>

<em>V1 = 0.5 l, P1 =203 kPa, P2 = 25.4 kPa</em>

<em>V2 = (0.5 × 203 )/25.4 </em>

<em>     = 3.996 </em>

<em>    ≈ </em><em><u>4.0 L</u></em>

5. What could you do to convert from meters to centimeters? *
maria [59]

C.

centi- is essentially 10^2 of one meter.

If you had 100m, multiplying 100 by 10^2 (or 100) would give you 10000 cm.
