Hydrometer Calculation

The document presents data from a soil viscosity test conducted at 27°C, detailing measurements of soil weight, particle size, and time intervals. It includes calculations for corrected readings and soil properties, such as specific gravity and viscosity. The results indicate the soil's behavior over various time periods, with specific values for each measurement.
