During a sedimentation test for grain size analysis, the corrected hydrometer reading in a 1000cc
uniformly mixed soil suspension at the instant of starting of sedimentation (t=0) was 1.030. After 30min,
the corrected hydrometer reading at an effective depth of 10cm was noted to be 1.015. If the specific gravity
of soil solids is 2.65 and viscosity of water is 0.01 dyne-s/cm2
, find (i) the total weight of soil solids placed
in the 1000cc suspension, and (ii) the diameter corresponding to the 30min reading and the percentage finer
