Test: Sedimentation Analysis - Question 3
Save

The sedimentation analysis is based on _________ law.

Detailed Solution: Question 3

The sedimentation analysis is based on stokes law according to which the velocity at which the grains settles down depend on shape, size, weight of grain.

Test: Sedimentation Analysis - Question 4
Save

The lower limit of particle size allowed in sedimentation analysis is ________

Detailed Solution: Question 4

The particle smaller than 0.0002 mm is affected by Brownian movement and stokes law remains no longer valid.

Test: Sedimentation Analysis - Question 5
Save

The unit weight of water in v=(2/g)r2(Vs-Vw/ɳ) is taken as ________

Detailed Solution: Question 5

The constant value of unit weight of water/liquid is taken as γw = 9.81 kn/m2.

Test: Sedimentation Analysis - Question 6
Save

The sedimentation analysis is done with the help of________

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Both the hydrometer and pipette method can be used for taking sedimentation analysis.

Test: Sedimentation Analysis - Question 7
Save

Which of the following assumptions is wrong, with respect to sedimentation analysis?

Detailed Solution: Question 7

In sedimentation analysis, soil particle has average specific gravity.

Test: Sedimentation Analysis - Question 8
Save

In the formula, f = 105√(300 ɳ/(g-1)Vw), the factor ɳ depends on__________

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Since ɳ = viscosity of water/liquid, it can be affected by temperature.

Test: Sedimentation Analysis - Question 9
Save

1 poise is equivalent to _________

Detailed Solution: Question 9

As,1 poise = 1/10 NS/ m2
1 poise = 0.1 NS/ m2.

Test: Sedimentation Analysis - Question 10
Save

Viscosity of water/liquid (ɳ) is expressed in ________

Detailed Solution: Question 10

The viscosity of distilled water in sedimentation analysis is taken as 0.00855 KN-s/m2.
