The elastic tendency of liquids which makes them acquire the least surface area possible. It is responsible, for example, when an object or insect such as mosquitoes that is denser than water is able to float or run along the water surface.

The ratio between the volume of water and the volume of voids.

The ratio between the volume of voids and the volume of the soil mass.

The ratio between the weight and the weight of solid particles.

Which of the following states the law of buoyancy?

A flow in which the velocity of the fluid at a particular fixed point does not change with time.

Which component of rock or soil is independent of interparticle friction?

A phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading.

A pile of sand keeps from spreading out like a liquid because the weight of the sand keeps the grains stuck together in their current arrangement, mostly out of static friction. This weight and pressure is called:

Which of the following is not a soil component?

A practice or procedure used to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material. The size distribution is often of critical importance to the way the material performs in use.

According to USCS, what do you call a soil grain with grain size greater than 4.75 mm but less than 75 mm?

Which of the following does not affect the settlement of a footing?

When the path lines of the individual particles of a flowing liquid are irregular curves and continually cross each other and form a complicated network, the flow is called:

A line joining the points of highest elevation of water in a series of vertical open pipes rising from a pipeline in which water flows under pressure is referred to as:

A pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) is referred to in hydraulics as:

At what temperature (°C) at which liquid water has the highest density?

The pressure exerted onto a liquid is transmitted equally and undiminished to all portions of the liquid. This principle in fluid mechanics is known as:

In any stream flowing steadily without friction the total energy contained in the same at every point in its path of flow. This principle is attributed to:

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a cohesive soil?

The ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of soil.

The ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a cohesionless soil.

In standard penetration test, medium dense sand have number of blows of:

In accordance with the USCS, a soil grain having a size greater than No. 200 sieve opening (0.074 mm) but less than that of a No. 4 sieve (4.75 mm opening) is called:

A granular soil deposit is considered medium dense if the blow count of a standard penetration test is between:

If the ground water table in a soil formation rises as a result of flooding, the bearing capacity of the soil:

Decreases

A type of flow where at any instant, the amount of fluid particles passing through a pipe section is constant.

A pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) is referred to in hydraulics as:

A line joining the points of highest elevation of water in series of vertical open pipes rising from a pipeline in which water flows under pressure.

If the ground water table in a soil formation rises as a resulting of flooding, the bearing capacity of the soil:

One of the following foundation conditions does not affect the bearing capacity of the supporting soil:

On what fundamental concept is the continuity of flow primarily based?

A branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the study of forces exerted by liquids in motion.

The total pressure force on a plane surface is equal to the area multiplied by the intensity of pressure at the centroid if the surface is:

A pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) is referred to in hydraulics as:

Which of the following is not affected by minor loss?

Which of the following shear tests of soil is not performed in a laboratory?

The ratio between the weight of water and the weight of solid particles.

The liquid flow is based on the concept of conservation of _______.

The shear strength is __________.

The property of soil which water percolates throughout its layer.
