Engineering Properties of Grains

Subtopic: Engineering Properties of Grains

Question Statement:

The sphericity $\Phi$ of an agricultural grain having three mutually perpendicular dimensions $a$ (major), $b$ (intermediate), and $c$ (minor) is defined as:

Options:

  • (A) $\Phi = \frac{(a b c)^{1/3}}{a}$
  • (B) $\Phi = \frac{a + b + c}{3 a}$
  • (C) $\Phi = \frac{a b c}{a^3}$
  • (D) $\Phi = \frac{\sqrt{a b c}}{a}$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Sphericity is the ratio of geometric mean diameter $(a b c)^{1/3}$ to the longest diameter $a$: $\Phi = \frac{(a b c)^{1/3}}{a}$.
