Answer:
part a : <em>The dry unit weight is 0.0616 </em>
<em />
part b : <em>The void ratio is 0.77</em>
part c : <em>Degree of Saturation is 0.43</em>
part d : <em>Additional water (in lb) needed to achieve 100% saturation in the soil sample is 0.72 lb</em>
Explanation:
Part a
Dry Unit Weight
The dry unit weight is given as

Here
is the dry unit weight which is to be calculated- γ is the bulk unit weight given as

- w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12%
Substituting values

<em>The dry unit weight is 0.0616 </em>
<em />
Part b
Void Ratio
The void ratio is given as

Here
- e is the void ratio which is to be calculated
is the dry unit weight which is calculated in part a
is the water unit weight which is 62.4
or 0.04 
- G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72
Substituting values

<em>The void ratio is 0.77</em>
Part c
Degree of Saturation
Degree of Saturation is given as

Here
- e is the void ratio which is calculated in part b
- G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72
- w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction
Substituting values

<em>Degree of Saturation is 0.43</em>
Part d
Additional Water needed
For this firstly the zero air unit weight with 100% Saturation is calculated and the value is further manipulated accordingly. Zero air unit weight is given as

Here
is the zero air unit weight which is to be calculated
is the water unit weight which is 62.4
or 0.04 
- G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72
- w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction

Now as the volume is known, the the overall weight is given as

As weight of initial bulk is already given as 4 lb so additional water required is 0.72 lb.
Answer:


Explanation:
As the disc is unrolling from the thread then at any moment of the time
We have force equation as

also by torque equation we can say



Now we have



Also from above equation the tension force in the string is


Answer:
B. W is positive and a is negative
Explanation:
As we know that the angular speed of the second clock is in positive direction so as it comes to halt from its initial direction of motion then we have
initial angular velocity is termed as positive angular velocity

now it comes to stop so angular acceleration is taken in opposite to the direction of angular speed
so we will have

so here correct answer is
B. W is positive and a is negative
