Numerical The surface Tension of water in contact with air at 20°C is 0.0725 N/m. The pressure inside a droplet of water is to be 0.02 N/cm² greater than the outside pressure. Calculate the diameter of the droplet of water. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Solution Surface tension, σ = 0.0725 N/m Pressure intensity, P = 0.02 N/m 2 P = 4σ/d Hence, the Diameter of the dropd = 4 x 0.0725/200 = 1.45 mm Numerical Find the surface tension in a soap bubble of 40 mm diameter when the inside pressure is 2.5 N/m² above atmospheric pressure. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Answer: 0.0125 N/m Numerical The pressure outside the droplet of water of diameter 0.04 mm is 10.32 N/cm² (atmospheric pressure).

Numerical A 1000 cc core cutter weighing 946.80 g was used to find out the in-situ unit weight of an embankment. The weight of the core cutter filled with soil was noted to be 2770.60 g. Laboratory tests on the sample indicated a water content of 10.45 % and specific gravity of solids of 2.65. Determine the bulk unit weight, dry unit weight, void ratio, and degree of saturation of the sample. (AMIE Summer 2023, 8 marks) Solution Weight of soil in core cutter = 2770.60 - 946.80 = 1823.8 g Bulk unit weight, γ t = W/V = 1823.8/1000 = 1.82 g/ccDry unit weight, γ d = γ t /(1 + w) = 1.82/(1 + 0.1045) = 1.65 g/cc Void ratio, e = (G s γ w /γ d ) - 1 = (2.65 x 1.0/1.65) - 1 = 0.61 Degree of saturation, S = wG s /e = (0.1045 x 2.65)/0.61 = 0.4540 = 45.4% Numerical What is the theoretical height of the capillary rise and the capillary pressure in fine-grained soil with an effective size (D 10 ) of 0.002 mm? (AMIE Summer 2023, 4 marks) Solution D 10 = 0.002 mm;  Using the assumption that th...
