is the volume of the sample when the water content is 10%.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given Data:

First has a natural water content of 25% =
= 0.25
Shrinkage limit, 

We need to determine the volume of the sample when the water content is 10% (0.10). As we know,
![V \propto[1+e]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%20%5Cpropto%5B1%2Be%5D)
------> eq 1

The above equation is at
,

Applying the given values, we get

Shrinkage limit is lowest water content

Applying the given values, we get

Applying the found values in eq 1, we get


Answer:
a)-True
Hope this helps even tho theres no school right now
Answer:
Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.
Explanation:
Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.
Given:
Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:
Method (a)
Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.
Method (b)
Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.
Method (c)
Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.
Calculation:
Step1
Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:

$/kj.
Step2
Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:

$/kj.
Step3
Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:

$/kj.
Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.
So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.
