(b) The results of a dry sieve test on a sample are given in the Table 1. Prior to commencement of the test, the initial dry mass (m:) of the sample was 1405 g. 175.4 g was retained on the 20 mm sieve, The measured weight of sample passing the 20 mm sieve (m;) was 1228.2 g and, in accordance with the British Standards, was riffled to 616.0 g (m). As the sample was non-cohesive, it was not necessary to mix it with sodium hexametaphosphate. No further riffling of the sample was necessary. O Generate data (% passing versus sieve size) so that a particle size distribution curve may be generated. (1) Calculate the uniformity coefficient (Cu) for the sample. (li) Classify the sample.
