Aseries of direct shear tests was performed on a soil sample. each test was carried out until the specimen sheared (failed). the laboratory data for the tests are tabulated as follows. determine the soil’s cohesion and angle of internal friction. specimen number normal stress (ib/ft^2) shearing stress(ib/ft^2)1 200 4502 400 5203 600 5904 1000 740

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

The higher the astm grain-size number, the coarser the grain is. a)-true b)-false
