A fine-grained soil has a liquid limit (LL) of 90 %, and a plasticity index (PI) of 51 %. Considering the water content (w) as large as 28 %.
a. Calculate the liquidity index (LI) and indicate the consistency of the soil. Moreover, classify this soil according to both the Unified Soil Classification System and the AASHTO system.

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2

Draw the engineering stress-strain curve for (a) bcc; (b) fcc metals and mark important points.

Arigid tank contains 10 kg of air at 137 kpa (abs) and 21°c. more air is added to the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 242 kpa (abs) and 32°c, respectively. determine the amount of air added to the tank. [r-0.287 kj/kg k]
