Answer:

(a) 23

(b)-0.13

(c) In which consistency state was the in situ soil? Plastic limit = 1.1

Explanation:

(a) Compute the plasticity index of the soil.

The formula for plasticity index is given as

Plasticity Index = Liquid limit - Plastic limit

Liquid limit = 44

Plastic limit = 21

Plastics Index = 44 - 21

= 23

(b) Calculate the liquidity index of the in situ soil.

Liquidity Index = Water content - Plastic limit/Liquid limit - Plastic Limit

Water content = 18%

Plastic limit = 21

Liquid limit = 44

Liquidity Index =18 -21/44 - 21

- 3/23

= -0.1304347826

≈ -0.13

(c) In which consistency state was the in situ soil

The consistency state of a soil tells us how firm the soil is.

Consistency state/index = Liquid limit - Water content/ Plastic Index

= Liquid limit - Water content /Liquid limit - Plastic Limit

Water content of the in situ soil = 18%

=44 - 18/44 - 23

= 26/23

= 1.1304347826

= 1.1

Since the consistency index of this situ soil is above 1, it means the soil is at plastic limit.

A cannon fires a ball vertically upward from the Earth’s surface. Which one of the following statements concerning the net force
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) The net force on the ball is instantaneously equal to zero newtons at the top of the flight path.

Explanation:

At an instantenous time at the top of the flight path, the upward force due to the Canon explosion on the ball is just equal to the weight of the ball, this will equate the net force on the ball to zero. At this point the velocity of the ball is zero before it decends down to earth under its own weight.

How is air pressure affected by the shape of an aircraft wing
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Airplanes' wings are curved on top and flatter on the bottom. That shape makes air flow over the top faster than under the bottom. As a result, less air pressure is on top of the wing. This lower pressure makes the wing, and the airplane it's attached to, move up.

An electrical heater is a form of sensible heating process, and heats 0.1m/s of air from 15°C and 80% RH to 50°C? The barometric
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The heater load =35 KJ/kg

Explanation:

Given that

At initial condition

Temperature= 15°C

RH=80%

At final condition

Temperature= 50°C

We know that in sensible heating process humidity ratio remain constant.

Now from chart

At temperature= 15°C and RH=80%

h_1=38 \frac{KJ}{kg},v=0.8 \frac{m^3}{kg}

At  temperature= 50°C

h_2=73 \frac{KJ}{kg}

So\ the\ heater\ load =h_2-h_1

The heater load = 73 - 38 KJ/kg

The heater load =35 KJ/kg
