Laboratory sieve analysis was carried out on a soil sample using a complete set of standard IS sieves. Out of 500 g of soil used in the test, 200 g was retained on IS 600 µ sieve, 250 g was retained on 1S 500 µ sieve and the remaining 50 g was retained on IS 425 µ sieve. The coefficient of uniformity of the soil is

A grain size analysis is performed on 3500 g of dry sand. No soil is retained on the 12.5-mm opening sieve. A nest of six sieves is subsequently used to separate the various sizes. The openings of the sieve meshes are, from top to bottom: 5, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.2, and 0.1 mm. The soil masses remaining on each of the six sieves are 217 g, 868 g, 1095 g, 809 g, 444 g, 39 g, and the amount of soil in the bottom pan is 28 g. Determine the effective size.
