CM 2113 WANG TEST 2 EXAM WITH CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+
Three basic components of soil ......ANSWER......solids, water and air
(T/F) For bulk materials, volumetric mesure varies with material's
position in the construction process ......ANSWER......T
(T/F) The same weight of a material will occupy different volumes as the
material is handled on the project ......ANSWER......T
Swell ......ANSWER......Reduction in density due to loosening the soil by
digging
Which soil volume is used to determine the volume capacity of
excavating/hauling equipment? ......ANSWER......Loose Volume
Soil density is a measure of ? per unit of volume.
......ANSWER......Weight
What is soil's bank condition? ......ANSWER......Typical amount of soil in
its natural state

(T/F) 1 bank cubic yard is 1 cubic yard of material after it has been
disturbed by a loading process ......ANSWER......F
What are construction costs based on? ......ANSWER......(total quantity
of the work to be done)*(the unit price of the work)
Rolling Resistance ......ANSWER......resistance of a level surface to
constant-velocity motion across it
What does rolling resistance result from? ......ANSWER......friction of the
driving mechanism, tire flexing and the force needed to push through or
ride over the supporting surface
(T/F) rolling resistance applied to both crawler-type and wheel-type
mobile equipment ......ANSWER......T
(T/F) When a vehicle moves down a grade the force of gravity that
assists the vehicle is also called grade assistance ......ANSWER......T
(T/F)power required, total resistance and effective grade all denote the
same thing ......ANSWER......T
(T/F) The decision process for matching the best possible machine to
the project task requires the engineer to take into account both the
