Chapter 2, Problem 2.14P
A hydrometer test has the following result: Gs = 2.65, temperature of water = 26° C, and L = 10.4 cm at 45 minutes after the start of sedimentation (see Figure 2.25). What is the diameter D of the smallest-size particles that have settled beyond the zone of measurement at that time (that is, t = 45 min)?
