A series of three direct shear tests has been conducted on a certain saturated soil. Each test was performed on a 2.375-inch dia

meter, 1.00-inch tall sample. The results of these tests are as follows:
Test Number Normal Stress Shear Stress
1 2435 1656
2 4870 3571
3 7305 4578

Answer:

Go to explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

Angle of friction (friction angle) is a measure of the ability of a unit of rock or soil to withstand a shear stress. It is the angle (φ), measured between the normal force (N) and resultant force (R), that is attained when failure just occurs in response to a shearing stress (S).

The cohesion intercept is a used when we want to describe the shear strength soils. The definition is mainly derived from the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and it is used to describe the non-frictional part of the shear resistance which is independent of the normal stress.

Please check attachment to Determine the friction angle and cohesion intercept.

Answer:

Option B

Planetary

Explanation:

In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model to explain the stability of orbits around the nucleus. Niels believed that light is emitted by an electron when the electron's energy changes. Bohr Atomic Model is sometimes called planetary model because it resembles a mini-solar system.

Air is compressed isothermally from 13 psia and 55°F to 80 psia in a reversible steady-flow device. Calculate the work required,
solong [7]

Answer:64.10 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Work done in an isothermally compressed steady flow device is expressed as

Work done = P₁V₁ In { P₁/ P₂}

Work done=RT In { P₁/ P₂}

where P₁=13 psia

          P₂= 80 psia

Temperature =°F Temperature is convert to  °R

T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67

T(°R) = 55°F+ 459.67

=514.67T(°R)

According to the properties of molar gas, gas constant and critical properties table, R  which s the gas constant of air is given as 0.06855 Btu/lbm

Work = RT In { P₁/ P₂}

0.06855 x 514.67 In { 13/ 80}

=0.06855 x 514.67 In {0.1625}

= 0.06855 x 514.67  x -1.817

=- 64.10Btu/lbm

The required work therefore for this  isothermal compression is 64.10 Btu/lbm

During the recovery of a cold-worked material, which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?
Len [333]

Answer:

Some of the internal strain energy is relieved.

There is some reduction in the number of dislocations.

The electrical conductivity is recovered to its precold-worked state.

The thermal conductivity is recovered to its precold-worked state

Explanation:

The process of the recovery of a cold-worked material happens at a very low temperature, this process involves the movement and annihilation of points where there are defects, also there is the annihilation and change in position of dislocation points which leads to forming of the subgrains and the subgrains boundaries such as tilt, twist low angle boundaries.

Briefly explain how each of the following influences the tensile modulus of a semicrystalline polymer and why:(a) molecular weig
marin [14]

Answer:

(a) Increases

(b) Increases

(c) Increases

(d) Increases

(e) Decreases

Explanation:

The tensile modulus of a semi-crystalline polymer depends on the given factors as:

(a) Molecular Weight:

It increases with the increase in the molecular weight of the polymer.

(b) Degree of crystallinity:

Tensile strength of the semi-crystalline polymer increases with the increase in the degree of crystallinity of the polymer.

(c) Deformation by drawing:

The deformation by drawing in the polymer results in the finely oriented chain structure of the polymer with the greater inter chain secondary bonding structure resulting in the increase in the tensile strength of the polymer.

(d) Annealing of an undeformed material:

This also results in an increase in the tensile strength of the material.

(e) Annealing of  a drawn material:

A semi crystalline material which is drawn when annealed results in the decreased tensile strength of the material.
