Question: Q 3 . Plot the particle size distribution curve for each of the three soils the data for which are given below. All three curves

Q3. Plot the particle size distribution curve for each of the three soils the data for which are given below. All three curves should be on the same semi logarithmic diagram. You need to consider the data from the finer sieves, as well (obtained from the hydrometer analysis).
