Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

2. (a) 2 kg of dry sand is poured into a Eureka can, where it displaces 755 cm³ of water. Calculate the specific gravity of the sand particle. (b) When a 2 kg of the same sand is poured into a measuring cylinder of diameter 6 cm, it occupies a total volume of 1200 cm³. Calculate the void ratio of the sand and its unit weight in this state. (c) The measuring cylinder is carefully filled with water up to the level of the top of the sand, so that the total volume is still 1200 cm³. Calculate the unit weight of the saturated sand in this condition. (d) The side of the measuring cylinder is tapped gently several times, and the level of the sand surface settles to an indicated volume of 1130 cm³. Calculate the void ratio and the unit weight of the saturated sand in its dense state. Take the unit weight of water yw as 10 kN/m³, and the mass density of water as 1000 kg/m³.

What is the largest size of a spherical sand grain that the Stokes’ Law can be used to calculate its settling velocity. What is the terminal settling velocity for the sand in quiescent water? If you want to use a settling basin (with 3 m in depth) to achieve 100% removal for all sand grains of this size in the water, what are the required size (area and volume) of the basin for treating Q=10000 m3/hr. Assuming water temperature is at ~20 0C and the density of sand is 2650 kg/m3.
