Answer:

The differences are listed below

Explanation:

The differences between consolidation and compaction are as follows:

In compaction the mechanical pressure is used to compress the soil. In consolidation, there is an application of stead pressure.

In compaction, there is a dynamic load by rapid mechanical methods like tamping, rolling, etc. In consolidation, there is static and sustained pressure applied for a long time.

In compaction, the soil volume is reduced by removing air from the void. In consolidation, the soil volume is reduced by squeezing out water from the pores.

Compaction is used for sandy soil, consolidation on the other hand, is used for clay soil.

A gas pressure difference is applied to the legs of a U-tube manometer filled with a liquid with specific gravity of 1.7. The ma

MArishka [77]

Answer:

5320.6 Pascal

Explanation:

Manometer is a pressure measuring device use to measure gas pressure .

Pressure difference in Manometer is a function of density,gravity and the height difference of the liquid.

Pressure difference = density x acceleration due to gravity x difference in height of liquid

Density of liquid = specific gravity of object x density of water.

Density of water = 997 kg/m^3

Specific gravity of liquid = 1.7

Density of liquid = 997 x 1.7 =1694.9kg/m^3

g= 9.81 m/s^2

h =320mm = 0.320m

Pressure difference = 1694.9 x 9.81 x 0.320 = 5320.6 Pascal

Suppose that the material to be used in a fuse melts when the current density rises to 459 A/cm2. What diameter of cylindrical w

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The required diameter of the fuse wire should be 0.0383 cm to limit the current to 0.53 A with current density of 459 A/cm² .

Explanation:

We are given current density of 459 A/cm² and we want to limit the current to 0.53 A in a fuse wire. We are asked to find the corresponding diameter of the fuse wire.

Recall that current density is given by

j = I/A

where I is the current flowing through the wire and A is the area of the wire

A = πr²

but r = d/2 so

A = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

so the equation of current density becomes

j = I/πd²/4

j = 4I/πd²

Re-arrange the equation for d

d² = 4I/jπ

d = √4I/jπ

d = √(4*0.53)/(459π)

d = 0.0383 cm

Therefore, the required diameter of the fuse wire should be 0.0383 cm to limit the current to 0.53 A with current density of 459 A/cm² .

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tanlc The fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differentialhe

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

(a) 11.437 psia

(b) 13.963 psia

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a fluid can be estimated by multiplying the density of the fluid, acceleration due to gravity and the depth of the fluid. To determine the fluid density, we have:

fluid density = specific gravity * density of water = 1.25 * 62.4 lbm/ft^3 = 78 lbm/ft^3

height = 28 in * (1 ft/12 in) = 2.33 ft

acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 ft/s^2

The change in pressure = fluid density*acceleration due to gravity*height = 78*32.174*(28/12) = 5855.668 lbm*ft/(s^2 * ft^2) = 5855.668 lbf/ft^2

The we convert from lbf/ft^2 to psi:

(5855.668/32.174)*0.00694 psi = 1.263 psi

(a) pressure = atmospheric pressure - change in pressure = 12.7 - 1.263 = 11.437 psia

(b) pressure = atmospheric pressure + change in pressure = 12.7 + 1.263 = 13.963 psia

The alignment readings for the front of a vehicle are shown above. Camber and toe are within specification, caster is not. Techn

dlinn [17]

Answer:

B. B only

Given Information:

1. Camber and toe are within specification

2. Caster is not within specification

Technician A says that with the current settings, the left front tire tread may wear on the inside edge.

Technician B says that with the current settings, the vehicle may pull to the left

Explanation:

Lets discuss the effects of Camber, toe and caster misalignment

Effects of Camber and Toe misalignment:

Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the fron tires and is used to distribute load across the tread. Any misalignment causes uneven loading on the tires which results in tire wear on one edge.

The most common cause of tire wear on the inside edge is due to the camber misalignment which results in premature tire wear.

Another reason is of tire wear is vehicle’s toe. A slight misalignment of the toe reduces the life of the tire.

Since it is given that camber settings and toe settings are within specification therefore, tire tread wear on the inside edge cannot happen if camber and toe are within specification.

Technician A cannot be right.

Effects of Caster misalignment:

Whenever there is a misalignment of the castor then the vehicle will not be able to go in straight line rather it will pull to either left or right side. Caster misalignment also causes heavy or light steering depending upon the positive or negative misalignment of caster.

Since it is given that caster settings are not within specification therefore, the vehicle may pull to the left due to the caster misalignment.

Technician B must be right.
