Someone can help me with this please.

**Soil Classification According to USCS** To determine the soil classification using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), follow these given parameters: - **Percent passing the No. 10 sieve:** 40% - **Percent passing the No. 40 sieve:** 35% - **Percent passing the No. 200 sieve:** 10% - **Liquid Limit (LL):** 35 - **Plasticity Index (PI):** 15 These values are used to categorize the soil based on its particle size distribution and plasticity characteristics, key components in the USCS.
