A sample of dry soil having specific gravity of 2.74 and having a mass of 133.7 gm is uniformly dispersed in water to form 1000 cc of suspension. (1) Determine the density of suspension immediately after it is prepared. (ii) A 10 cc of the suspension was removed from the depth of 21 cm beneath the top surface after the suspension was allowed to stand for 2 min 30 sec. The dry mass of the soil in the sample drawn was found to be 0.406 gm. Determine one point on the grain size distribution curve corresponding to this observation. Temperature of suspension = 20°C Viscosity of water at 20°C = 0.0102 poise
