Relative Compaction: It is specified that the soil at a construction site be compacted to at least 90% relative compaction. Soil samples were extracted from the site, and it was determined that the in-situ moist unit weight is 121 pcf. An oven drying test was also conducted on a small portion of the sample, and it was determined that the water content is 12.5%. Compaction tests were conducted on the samples, and yielded a maximum dry unit weight of 117 pcf and an optimum moisture content of 13%. Calculate the relative compaction of the in-situ soil, and state whether or not it meets the stated specification for relative compaction.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
