See shape of particle has a role to play in deciding permeability. If we considered void ratio as constant than in that case the soil with angular grain has more specific surface area as compared to rounded grain. Thus the permeability in case of angular grains are less as compared to that of rounded grain. Further with increase in angularity porosity decreases as a result of better packing. So, with increasing angularity the permeability decreases.
Also grain size distribution also help in deciding the permeability. With increase in effective size permeability increases.
So, option D is the correct choice.
How does grain angularity and grain size distribution affect a soil's permeability? (Assume the average grain...
How does Physical Weathering change the chemical composition of a rock material? It creates new, different minerals from the old minerals It doesn't change the chemical composition of a rock material It dissolves soluble minerals, moving ions into solutions It relies on chemical reactions to break down the minerals In the ASCE or USBR Rock Weathering Descriptors, the description of "Moderately Severe" says that all (minerals) except quartz are discolored or stained, and that all feldspars are dull, discolored and...

1. A) A population of values has a normal distribution with μ=8.2μ=8.2 and σ=55.6σ=55.6. You intend to draw a random sample of size n=249n=249. Find the probability that a sample of size n=249n=249 is randomly selected with a mean less than 16.3. P(M < 16.3) = ? Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places. Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted. B) A population of values has a normal distribution...
Please m asking for assistance on statistics Q10. A population consists of the following N-5 scores: 0, 6, 4, 3, and 12 a. Compute u ando for the population b. Find the 2-score for each score in the population c. Transform the original population into a new population of N = 5 scores with a mean of u = 100 and a standard deviation of a = 20 Q11. For a sample with a mean of M = 51, a...
The z-tests Help with this page is greatly appreciated. I dont understand how to show a full diagram. Thanks in advance :) The z-test 10.1 Assume that a treatment does have an effect and that the treatment effect is being evaluated with a z hypothesis test. If all factors are held constant, how is the outcome of the hypothesis test influenced by sample size? To answer this question, do the following two tests and compare the results. For both tests,...
Question 5: How would dust and oil on the glass plates affect the results? EXPERIMENT 10 THIN FILM INTERFERENCE Light from a monochromatic source is shined downward on two glass plates that are separated at one end by a hair. Light that is reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the wedge-shaped thin film of air undergoes interference, and a series of dark and light lines are seen. By counting the number of dark or light lines over a...
Participants in an exercise experiment are asked to rate how difficult a hill-climbing challenge would be when they are rested. A month later, participants are asked to rate how difficult a hill-climbing challenge would be after they have run on a treadmill to exhaustion. The researcher wants to know if people judge hypothetical physical tasks as being more difficult if they are already tired. Assume the rating scale provides interval data that ranges from 0 – very easy to 10...
