For calculating liquid limit, interpolation is done from the given table corresponding to 20 mm penetration.

For calculating plastic limit, the data given in platic limit test is used.
For calculating natural water content, the data given in natural water content test is used.

Solution (a) Since the liquid limit test gooph is lineare, interpolation therefore we can use we know, liquid limit In cone penetoome tex method,
the water content corresponding to 20 mm penetration is termed as of ì—‰ given ren soil. - From the given table the 18.2 - 20 51.8 x 18.2- 211
51.8 - 64.2 59.5% So, the liquid limit of ì—¥ the soilez = 59.5% (b) 22.12 water 20:42 17 weight of tot g g weight of oven-dried soil = 20.42-
