The answers to dry unit weight, void ratio, porosity, degree of saturation, volume occupied by water are respectively;

γ_d = 108.93 lb/ft³; e = 0.56; n = 0.36; S = 0.58; V_w = 0.021 ft³

<h3>Calculation of Volume and Weight of soil</h3>

We are given;

Moist weight; W = 12.2 lb

Volume of moist soil; V = 0.1 ft³

moisture content; w = 12% = 0.12

Specific gravity of soil solids; G_s = 2.72

A) Formula for dry unit weight is;

γ_d = γ/(1 + w)

where γ_w is moist unit weight as;

γ_w = W/V

γ_w = 122/0.1 = 122 lb/ft³

Thus;

γ_d = 122/(1 + 0.12)

γ_d = 108.93 lb/ft³

B) Formula for void ratio is;

e = [(G_s * γ_w)/γ_d] - 1

e = [(2.72 * 122)/108.93] - 1

e = 0.56

C) Formula for porosity is;

n = e/(1 + e)

n = 0.56/(1 + 0.56)

n = 0.36

D) Formula for degree of saturation is;

S = (w * G_s)/e

S = (0.12 * 2.72)/0.56

S = 0.58

E) Volume occupied by water is gotten from;

V_w = S*V_v

where;

V_v is volume of voids = nV

V_v = 0.36*0.1

V_v = 0.036 ft³

Thus;

V_w = 0.58 * 0.036

V_w = 0.021 ft³

Water flows with an average speed of 6.5 ft/s in a rectangular channel having a width of 5 ft The depth of the water is 2 ft.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

specific energy  = 2.65 ft

y2 = 1.48 ft  

Explanation:

given data

average speed v = 6.5 ft/s

width = 5 ft

depth of the water y = 2 ft

solution

we get here specific energy that is express as

specific energy = y + \frac{v^2}{2g}     ...............1

put here value and we get

specific energy = 2 + \frac{6.5^2}{2\times 9.8\times 3.281}  

specific energy  = 2.65 ft

and

alternate depth is

y2 = \frac{y1}{2} \times (-1+\sqrt{1+8Fr^2})  

and

here Fr² = \frac{v1}{\sqrt{gy}}  = \frac{6.5}{\sqrt{32.8\times 2}}  

Fr² = 0.8025

put here value and we get

y2 = \frac{2}{2} \times (-1+\sqrt{1+8\times 0.8025^2})

y2 = 1.48 ft

(TCO 4) In a CAN bus, there are three computers: Computer A, Computer B, and Computer C. The messages being sent are 2 milliseco
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) After 2.5 milliseconds

Explanation:

Given that :

In a CAN bus, there are three computers: Computer A, Computer B, and Computer C.

Length in time of the message sent are 2 milliseconds long

As the computer start sending the message; the message are being sent at a message duration rate of 2 milliseconds

250 microseconds later, Computer B starts to send a message; There is a delay of 250 microseconds = 0.25 milliseconds here at Computer B

and 250 microseconds after that, Computer C starts to send a message

Similarly; delay at Computer C = 0.25 milliseconds

Assuming T_{RT} is the retransmit time for Computer A to retransmit its message, Then :

T_{RT} = T_A + T_B + T_C

T_{RT} = 2 milliseconds + 0.25 milliseconds + 0.25 milliseconds

T_{RT} = 2.5 milliseconds

Thus; the correct option is A) After 2.5 milliseconds
