Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a set of dial readings at various square root times, derive the tangent and show how you would calculate the consolidation time using the log-time curve fitting method.

💡 Hint: Start with calculating the slope of the tangent using rise/run.

Question 2

Using the given ratio of OR=1.15OQ, if OQ is measured as 3 units, what will be the measurement of OR, and how does this affect the positioning of point S?

💡 Hint: Multiply directly, then plot where OR connects with the curve.
