Answer:
Connect the test light in series with the negative post, and start pulling feed wires. The first to check is the heavy charging wire from the alternator. A bad or leaky diode in an alternator is a very common source of overnight battery drain. Connect wires one at a time to see what lead is drawing current.
The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc
<u>Explanation</u>:
a) Apparent specific gravity = 
Where,
A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g
B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g
C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g
apparent specific gravity =
= 
Apparent specific gravity = 2.88
b) Bulk specific gravity 

= 2.76
c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):


= 2.80
d) Absorption% :


Absorption = 1.44 %
e) Bulk Volume :


= 
Answer: the half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone = 30⁰
Explanation:
To calculate the half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone.
we say ;
Sin∝ = 1 / Ma
given that Ma = 2
now we substitute
Sin∝ = 1 / 2
Sin∝ = 0.5
∝ = Sin⁻¹ 0.5
∝ = 30⁰
Therefore, the half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone is 30⁰
