Homework#4: Exercise 1:
Using the USDA triangle, find the textural class name of soil with 20 % clay, 20 % sand, and 60 % silt? (5 points) -Silt loam Exercise 2 : What are the gravimetric water contents just before and just after irrigation? -Before Irrigation = (1.79 – 1.49)/ 1.49 = 20.13%
-After Irrigation = (1.94 – 1.52)/ 1.52 = 27.63 %
The bulk density of the soil is 1.3 g/cm
3
. Find the volumetric water contents (5 points) and porosity of the two samples (5 points). Volumetric water contents:
Before irrigation = 1.3 x 20.13 = 26.17%
After irrigation = 1.3 x 27.63 = 35.92%
Porosity for both samples = (2.65 – 1.3)/2.65 = 50.94%
Exercise 3:
Determine the 2 constant parameters (a and K) of kostiakov equation
a = 0.54
K = 4.63 Calculate and draw the cumulative infiltration rate at each time step (time in minutes on Xaxis and cumulative infiltration rate (mm) on the Y axis) -
Plotted in excel attached
Calculate and draw the instantaneous infiltration rate (time in minutes on X-axis and instantaneous infiltration rate (mm/h) on the Y axis)
-
Plotted in excel attached
Estimate graphically (from previous question), the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) in (mm/h) (
-
Ks = 24.1 mm/h
Exercise 4: Calculate actual yield (Y
a
) for cotton if average salinity during the growing season is 10.4 dS/m and the minimum (EC
min
) and maximum (EC
max
) salinity tolerance thresholds are 7.7 dS/m and 25 dS/m respectively. Crop yield under optimal conditions (Y
max
) is 1,285Kg/ha Relative yield
Slope = (0 -100)/(25 – 7.7) = -5.78%
RY = 100 – 5.78*(10.4 – 7.7)
RY = 84.394%
Actual yield = 84.394 x 1,285/100 = 1,084.46 Kg/ha
Calculate the total amount of irrigation water (mm) to be applied to avoid yield losses. Assume EC of irrigation water is 2dS/m and the total consumptive use (ET) of the cotton is 800mm. (10 points) Leaching Requirement (LR) = ECw/ (5ECmin – ECw)
LR = 2/ (5*7.7 – 2) = 5.48%
ET/(1 – LR) = 800/(1 – 0.0548) = 846.38 mm
Extra water needed = 846.38 – 800 = 46.38 mm
Exercise 5 In this exercise you will assume that all your capacitance sensors are calibrated and the only difference is related to installation errors. Out of the three volumetric sensors installed, select one (Justify your selection) and compare the obtained volumetric water content with soil water potential (Use excel to draw your graph) (10 points)
-
The Port 3 sensor was omitted first because it is significantly different from Port 4 and Port 2.
-
Port 2 and Port4 exhibited the same behavioral pattern, either of the sensors should be fine but Port 2 sensor was selected.
Assume your crop will start experience a water stress at soil water potential 300kPa. Determine the volumetric water content threshold for your management allowable deficit (MAD)(soil moisture content level below which the plant will experience water stress) (5 points)
MAD = 0.231 m3/m3
What will be the irrigation volume (m
3
/ha) that you need to apply to bring moisture content
of your field from MAD to field capacity? (Assume your irrigation system is 100% efficient
no water losses from leakage and non-uniformity) FC = 0.382 m3/m3
MAD – FC = 0.382 – 0.231 = 0.151 m3/m3 = 151 mm water per m depth per unit area
Volume = 151 x 10 = 1,510 m3/ha

Two sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are being considered by a recent engineering graduate. Using the following data evaluate which sport utility vehicle is better. Use six attributes in your a
point, overall appearance, comfort, safety, reliability, and fuel mileage. Larger scores on overall appearance, comfort, safety, reliability, and fuel mileage are preferred to smaller ones.
Click the icon to view the table with data you have gathered about the SUVs.
Determine attribute weights and use the nondimensional scaling technique to find the resulting set of vehicle scores. Fill in the table below. (Round to two decimal places.)

QUESTION 3
A Type I offshore life jacket (i.e. personal flotation device) is the type worn by commercial fishermen - it is
designed for extended survival in rough, open seawater. Consider such a life jacket that uses an impermeable
foam material with a density of 32 kg/m³ - the other parts of the life jacket (straps, fasteners, etc) weigh 0.6 kg
and are of negligible volume to the design.
a) Draw a free body force diagram for the life jacket.
b) Determine the minimum volume of foam material (in L) that is needed for the life jacket in order to
provide a minimum 98 N net upward force when it is fully submerged in seawater (as required by US
Coast Guard regulations).

A bookshelf needs to be built to hold 200 novels. The depth, width and height of the largest novels are 8 inches by 2 inches by 10 inches, respectively and the novels need to sit in the bookshelf so that the largest novel fits perfectly without any overhang of shelf showing.
The homeowner would like 4 shelves to hold all the books, with one extra shelf to hold future books (5 total shelves). Each of the four shelves will hold 50 books. The homeowner wants no more than one-inch thick wood shelving.
Create an orthographic scale drawing of the bookshelf on grid paper. Be sure to include the front, side, and top views. Include a scale.

Learning Goal:
A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object of uniform composition, its centroid is also its
center of mass. Often the centroid of a complex composite body is found by, first, cutting the body into
regular shaped segments, and then by calculating the weighted average of the segments' centroids.An
object is made from a uniform piece of sheet metal. The object has dimensions of a = 1.45 ft, where a is
the diameter of the semi-circle, b = 3.24 ft, and c = 2.10 ft. A hole with diameter d = 0.500 ft is centered
at (1.13, 0.725).
