In a pipette analysis, 25 g of soil was dispersed in water, and the suspension was made to a volume 500 ml, The viscosity of water is 0.0012 SI units. Seven minutes after the commencement of sedimentation, 10 m/ of suspension was taken at a depth of 100 mm. The sampled volume was dried and found to have mass of 0.3 g and G = 2.70. Compute (a) Largest size of particle remaining in suspension 7 minutes after the commencement of sedimentation at a depth 100 mm. (b) The percentage of finer particles.

Consider that a 58.7 gram sample of dry soil is used in making a mechanical analysis by using the hydrometer method. The laboratory was held at a constant temperature of 20 C (68 F). The 40 s hydrometer reading was found to be 32.5 and the 8 hr hydrometer reading was 15.5. The percentage of sand in this soil sample is (note, a 58.7 gram sample is used here): Your Answer: Answer units

(CE Board Exam November 2018) An experiment to determine the permeability of a soil sample was conducted. The permeameter in a falling head permeability test set-up involves a cylindrical soil sample 100mm in diameter and a height of 200mm. The hydraulic head in the 10-mm diameter standpipe through which the test water passed drop from 1m to 600mm in one minute of observation. In that duration, the water collected in the graduate was recorded at 2L. From these data, a. Evaluate the coefficient of permeability of the soil sample in cm/sec b. Determine the time it takes for the water to drop from 1meter to 750mm c. What will be the hydraulic head in the standpipe after 2 minutes
