It is known that the natural soil at a construction site has a void ratio of 0.92. At the end of compaction, the in-place void ratio was found to be 0.65. If the moisture content remains unchanged, determine the following:

a. Percent decrease in the total volume of the soil due to compaction.
b. Percent increase in the field dry unit weight.
c. Percent change in the degree of saturation.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
