The particle size characteristics of diameter (mm) and retained mass (g) of a soil are: For 4.75 mm retained 0 g; 2.0mm retained 40g; 0.85mm retained 60g; 0.425mm retained 89g; 0.25mm retained 140g; 0.18mm retained 122g; 0.125mm retained 210g; 0.075 mm retained 56 g and at the bottom retained with 12 g. Determine the percentages of gravel, sand, silt and clay. For the soil in the previous question determine the uniformity coefficient Cu or D10/D60.
