During a compaction test in the geotechnical laboratory, the students compacted a clayey soil into a cylindrical mold 4 in. in diameter and 4.58 in. in height. The compacted soil in the mold weighed 4 lb, and it had a moisture content of 12%. If Gs 5 2.72, determine the following: a. Dry unit weight
b. Void ratio
c. Degree of saturation
d. Additional water (in lb) needed to achieve 100% saturation in the soil sample

On a average work day more than work place firs are reorted

Ajournal bearing has a journal diameter of 3.250 in with a unilateral tolerance of 20.003 in. the bushing bore has a diameter of 3.256 in and a unilateral tolerance of 0.004 in. the bushing is 2.8 in long and supports a 700-lbf load. the journal speed is 900 rev/min. find the minimum oil film thickness and the maximum film pressure for both sae 20 and sae 20w-30 lubricants, for the tightest assembly if the operating film temperature is 160°f. a computer code is appropriate for solving this problem.

Water at the rate of 1 kg/s is forced through a tube with a 2.5 cm inner diameter. the inlet water temperature is 15°c, and the outlet water temperature is 50°c. the tube wall temperature is 14°c higher than the local water temperature all along the length of the tube. what is the length of the tube?
