A vane shear test was conducted in a saturated soft clay, using a  vane. When the vane was rotated at the standard rate of , the torque measured in the torque meter increased to , and with further rotation reduced to . Determine the peak and residual undrained shear strengths of the clay. (Enter your answers to three significant figures.) Peak undrained shear strength    Residual undrained shear strength
2.41 The device shown consists of a disk that is rotated by a shaft. The disk is positioned very close to a solid boundary. Be- tween the disk and the boundary is viscous oil. a. If the disk is rotated at a rate of 1 rad/s, what will be the ra- tio of the shear stress in the oil at r = 2 cm to the shear stress at r = 3 cm? b. If the rate of rotation is 2 rad/s, what is the speed of the oil in contact with the disk atr = 3 cm? c. Ifthe oil viscosity is 0.01 N s/m² and the spacing y is 2 mm, what is the shear stress for the conditions noted in part (b)? 2 Pipe Oil film Cylinder PROBLEM 2.40
