Question
(a) In a hydrometer analysis 50 g of soil was mixed in water to form 1000 ml uniform soil suspension. The corrected hydrometer reading after a lapse of 60 mts from the start of sedimentation was 1.010 and the corresponding effective depth was 108 mm. Determine the effective diameter corresponding to 60 mts reading and percentage of particles finer than this size. G = 2.7 viscosity of water is $0.001\ \text{Ns}/\text{m}^2$. 10
(b) What are the major soil deposits of India ? Explain their characteristics. 10
