In the Marshall method of mix design, the coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, filler and bitumen, having specific gravity of 2.60, 2.70, 2.68 and 1.02 respectively are mixed in the ratio 51, 36.8, 5.8 and 6.4 percent respectively. The theoretical specific gravity of the mix would be

Horton’s infiltration equation was fitted to data from an infiltration test. It was found that the initial infiltration capacity was 25 mm/h, final infiltration capacity was 9 mm/hr and the exponential decay constant was 0.5 h^–1. If the infiltration was at capacity rates, the total infiltration depth for a uniform storm of 10 h duration would be
