1. (d) 50 grams of oven dried soil sample is taken for sedimentation analysis. The
hydrometer reading in a 100 ml soil suspension 30 minutes after the commencement
of sedimentation test is 24.5. The effective depth for Rn = 25, found from the
calibration curve is 10.7 cm. The meniscus correction is found to be + 0.5 and the
composite correction as – 2.50 at the test temperature of 30°C. Taking the specific
gravity of particles as 2.75 and viscosity of water as 0.008 poise, calculate the
smallest particle size which would have settled during this interval of 30 minutes
and the percentage of particle finer than this size.

5. (b) The dilution method with gulp injection procedure was used to measure the discharge
of a small but rapid stream. A sodium dischromate solution was suddenly injected
at station A. In this, 60 litres of solution with concentration of 300 mg/cc was used.
The data of concentration measurements at station B on the downstream indicated
a time-concentration curve that could be approximated as a triangle with a base
of 5 minutes and the maximum concentration of 12 parts per million by weight.
The base concentration of the dye in the stream was zero. Estimate the discharge
in the stream.
