Calculate the percent voids between aggregate particles that have been compacted by rodding, if the dry-rodded unit weight is 88

.0 lb/cu ft and the bulk dry specific gravity is 2.701.

Answer:47.7%

Explanation:

The void content in the aggregate using the bulk density can be determined by the rodding method, as follows:

%Voids= 100[(SxW)-M]/ (SxW)

Where;

S=Bulk dry specific gravity

W=density of water(62.3 lb/cuft)

M=Bulk density of the aggregate(88 lb/cuft)

℅void=100[(2.701×62.3)-88]/(2.701×62.3)

=100[168.2723-88]/168.2723

=8027.23/168.2723

=47.7%

What properties should the head of a carpenter’s hammer possess? How would you manufacture a hammer head?
BabaBlast [244]

Properties of Carpenter's hammer possess

Explanation:

1.The head of a carpenter's hammer should possess the impact resistance, so that the chips do not peel off the striking face while working.

2.The hammer head should also be very hard, so that it does not deform while driving or eradicate any nails in wood.

3.Carpenter's hammer is used to impact smaller areas of an object.It can drive nails in the wood,can crush  the rock and shape the metal.It is not suitable for heavy work.

How hammer head is manufactured :

1.Hammer head is produced by metal forging process.

2.In this process metal is heated and this molten metal is placed in the cavities said to be dies.

3.One die is fixed and another die is movable.Ram forces the two dies under the forces which gives the metal desired shape.

4.The third process is repeated for several times.

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 3.5 mm (0.14 in
RideAnS [48]

To resolve this problem we have,

R=3.5mm\\F_f1=950N\\L_1=50mm\\b=12mm\\L_2=40mm

F_{f2} is unknown.

With these dates we can calculate the Flexural strenght of the specimen,

\sigma{fs}=\frac{F_{f1}L}{\pi R^3}\\\sigma{fs}=\frac{(950)(50*10^{-3})}{\pi 3.5*10^{-3}}\\\sigma{fs}=352.65Mpa

After that, we can calculate the flexural strenght for the square cross section using the previously value.

\sigma{fs}=\frac{F_{f2}L}{\pi R^3}\\(352.65*10^6)=\frac{3Ff(40*10^{-3})}{2(12*10^{-10})}\\F_{f2}=\frac{352.65*10^6}{34722.22}\\F_{f2}=10156.32N\\F_{f2}=10.2kN

Identify an object in your house that contains a physical system and list three questions you could use to define the system
jonny [76]

Answer:

ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love

CHALLENGE ACTIVITY 1.4.1: Basic syntax errors. Type the statements. Then, correct the one syntax error in each statement. Hints:
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Lets check each statement for the errors.

Explanation:

System.out.println("Predictions are hard.");

This statement has no syntax errors. When this statement is executed the following line will be displayed:

Predictions are hard.

System.out.print("Especially ');

This statement is missing the closing quotation mark. A single quotation mark is placed instead of double quotation mark in the statement.

The following error message will be displayed when this program statement will be compiled:

Main.java:15: error: unclosed string literal

String literals use double quotes. So to correct this syntax error, the statement should be changed as follows:

System.out.print("Especially");

The output of this corrected line is as following:

Especially

System.out.println("about the future.").

In this line a period . is placed at the end of the statement instead of a semicolon ; but according to the syntax rules statements should end in semicolons.

The error message displayed when this line is compiled is as following:

Main.java:15: error: ; expected

Main.java:15: error: not a statement

So in order to correct this syntax error the statement should be changed as following:

System.out.println("about the future.");    

The output of this corrected line is as following:

about the future

System.out.println("Num is: " - userName);

There is a syntax error in this statement because of - symbol used instead of +

+ symbol is used to join together a variable and a value a variable and another variable in a single print statement.

The error message displayed when this line is compiled is as following:

Main.java:13: error: bad operand types for binary operator '-'

So in order to correct this syntax error the statement should be changed as following:

System.out.println("Num is: " + userName);

This line will print two things one is the string Num is and the other is the value stored in userName variable.

So let userName= 5 then the output of this corrected line is as following:

Num is: 5

A 20 dBm power source is connected to the input of a directional coupler having a coupling factor of 20 dB, a directivity of 35
lukranit [14]

Answer:

P_O = 0.989 watt = 19.9 dBm

Explanation:

Given data:

P_1 power = 20 dBm  = 0.1 watt

coupling factor is 20dB

Directivity = 35 dB

We know that

coupling factor = 10 log \frac{P_1}{P_f}

solving for  final power

20 = 10 log\frac{P_1}{P_f}

2 = log \frac{P_1}{P_f}

100 = \frac{0.1}{P_f}

P_f = 0.001 watt = 0 dBm

Directivity D =  10 \frac{P_f}{P_b}

35 = 10 \frac{0.001}{P_b}

P_b = 3.162 \times 10^{-7} wattt

output Power  = P_1 -P_f - P_b

                       = 0.1 - 0.001 - 3.162 \times 10^{-7}

P_O = 0.989 watt = 19.9 dBm
