9. An embankment having a volume of 320,000 yd is to be constructed from local borrow. The dry unit weight and moisture content

of the borrow material were determined to be 106 pcf and 18.2%, respectively. The embankment material has a total unit weight of 122 pcf and a moisture content of 16.7%. The volume of borrow lyd needed to construct the embankment is most nearly: (A) 274,100 (B) 315,500 (C) 324,500 (D) 373,600

Answer:

correct option is (B) 315,500

Explanation:

given data

volume = 320,000 yd³ = 8640000 ft³

dry unit weight = 106 pcf

moisture content = 18.2%

total unit weight = 122 pcf

moisture content = 16.7%

to find out

volume of borrow lyd needed

solution

first we get here weight of material that is

weight = volume × unit weight

weight = 8640000 ×  122

weight = 1054080000 lb

that weight is weight of water + weight of solid so

0.167 × weight is weight of water + weight of solid ) = 1054080000 lb

and weight of solid = \frac{1054080000}{1.167}

weight of soil solid is = 903239075 pound

and weight of water = 150840925 pound

so volume of soil = 903239075 ÷ 106 lb/ft³ = 8521123.34 ft³

and volume required =  8521123.34 ft³ ÷ 27 ft³ =  315597.161 yd³

volume required = 315500 yd³

so correct option is (B) 315,500

What is the physical significance of the Reynolds number?. How is defined for external flow over a plate of length L.
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Re=\dfrac{\rho\ v\ l}{\mu }

Explanation:

Reynolds number:

  Reynolds number describe the type of flow.If Reynolds number is too high then flow is called turbulent flow and Reynolds is  low then flow is called laminar flow .

Reynolds number is a dimensionless number.Reynolds number given is the ratio of inertia force to the viscous force.

Re=\dfrac{F_i}{F_v}

For plate can be given as

Re=\dfrac{\rho\ v\ l}{\mu }

Where  ρ is the density of fluid , v is the average velocity of fluid and μ is the dynamic viscosity of fluid.

Flow on plate is a external flow .The values of Reynolds number for different flow given as

Reynolds\ number\is \ >\ 5 \times 10 ^5\ then\ flow\ will\ be\ turbulent.

Reynolds\ number\is \
