Referring to the attached grain size plots, carefully read the appropriate grain size values from the bottom of the graph and for each of the curves (2 & 3 only), plot them in a table and then determine Cu and Cc for each distribution. Could you please explain how to read the plot and find the grain size value :) Thanks
