coefficient.

(4) A vane, 75 mm in diameter and 150 mm in height, was pressed into soft
clay in a borehole. The torque was applied and gradually increased to
50Nm when failure took place. Determine the un-drained shear strength
of the soil. (4x5=20)

concentration of the diluted sample at the beginning of the BOD test was
5 mgl and 5 mgl after 5 day incubation at 20°C. Find BOD of the raw
sewage.

(2) Explain various stages, which are involved in an ideal Remote Sensing
System.

(2) Design a tube-well to deliver 150.15 kilo litre per hour at a depression head
of 5 m. The average water level is 10 mbelow the ground in October
and
15 m in July. The velocity of flow in tube = 2.5 m/sec.
