A certain grain at 15.5% and bulk density of 650kg/m3 was stored in a cylindrical silo having a dimension of 15 m height and 8m diameter (see Figure 1). It was observed that the topmost portion of the grains stored in the silo formed a cone-shaped structure with 30O angle of repose. After several days, the grain moisture content (wet basis) decreased to 13%. Compute for the following: Reminder: Set your calculator in degree setting a) Initial weight of grain stored in the silo b) Water removed from the grain after being stored for several days

Question

A certain grain at 15.5% and bulk density of 650kg/m3 was stored in a cylindrical silo having a
dimension of 15 m height and 8m diameter (see Figure 1). It was observed that the topmost
portion of the grains stored in the silo formed a cone-shaped structure with 30O angle of repose.
After several days, the grain moisture content (wet basis) decreased to 13%. Compute for the
following: Reminder: Set your calculator in degree setting
a) Initial weight of grain stored in the silo
b) Water removed from the grain after being stored for several days
