1.A sample of moist soil has a volume of 40.5 cc mass weight of 59.2 gms. After drying it has a mass weight of 48.3 grams. The specific gravity of the solids are 2.68. Compute the degree of saturation, water content and void ratio.
2.A water contains a suspended solids concentration of 10.30 mg/L.Coagulation reduce this to 1 mg/L.To accomplish this,an alum dose of 13.30 mg/L is necessary.What is the dry weight of sludge produced in kg/day if plant treats water at a rate of 1.884 m3/s?
3.consider a cylindrical nickel wire 2.0 mm in diameter and 3 x 10^4 mm long. Calculate its elongation when a load of 300 N is applied. Assume that the deformation is totally elastic.
