The in situ moist unit weight of a soil is 17.3 kN/m3 and the moisture content is 16%. The specific gravity of soil solids is 2.72. This soil is to be excavated and transported to a construction site for use in a compacted fill. If the specification calls for the soil to be compacted to a minimum dry unit weight of 18.1 kN/m3 at the same moisture content of 16%, how many cubic meters of soil from the excavation site are needed to produce 2000 m3 of compacted fill?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
