Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A soil sample contains silt and clay particles suspended in a fluid. If the hydrometer shows a higher density reading at 2 minutes compared to 5 minutes, what does that indicate about the sedimentation process?
💡 Hint: Think about what settling indicates about particle size over time.
Question 2
If you were to apply a different fluid in hydrometer analysis that is denser than water, how would the hydrometer readings change, and why?
💡 Hint: Consider the effect of medium density on particle movement.
