Answer to Question #230039 in Physics for Moitheri Malelu

Question

determine the percentage sand, silt and clay of two soils analysed by the hydrometer method. The oven dry mass of the soil is 50g. Calgon Hydrometer readings: 40s = 10g/l (14°C) 2 h = 10g/l (15°C)

Hydrometer readings: 40 sec 35g/l (14°C) 2 h 18.14g/l (16°C)

calculate:

Temperature corrected reading,

Calgon corrected reading and

Corrected hydrometer reading

% silt and clay = 100 x corrected 40s reading / oven dry weight of soil sample (g) % sand = 100 – (% silt and clay)
