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 1-kW electric resistance heater submerged in 10-kg water is turned on and kept on for 15 min. During the process, 400 kJ of he
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

ΔT=  11.94 °C

Explanation:

Given that

mass of water = 10 kh

Time t= 15 min

Heat lot from water = 400  KJ

Heat input to the water = 1  KW

Heat input the water= 1 x 15 x 60

                                =900 KJ

By heat balancing

Heat supply - heat rejected = Heat gain by water

As we know that heat capacity of water

C_p=4.187 \frac{KJ}{kg-K}

Q=mC_p\Delta T

Now by putting the values

900 - 400 = 10 x 4.187 x ΔT

So  rise in temperature of water ΔT=  11.94 °C

Π/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 ...
leva [86]

Answer: Pi= 4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 ...

Explanation:

Is the same as the example,

If Π/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 ...

Then

(Π/4 )*4= 4*(1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 ...)

Π =4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 ...

The way to write this is

Sum(from n=0 to n=inf) of (-1)^n 4/(2n+1)

kow [346]

Answer:

2.135

Explanation:

Lets make use of these variables

Ox 16.5 kpsi, and Oy --14,5 kpsi

To determine the factor of safety for the states of plane stress. We have to first understand the concept of Coulomb-Mohr theory.

Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress.

Please refer to attachment for the step by step solution.
