The document contains 3 multiple choice questions about centrifuges, sieves, and particle settling in soil. Question 21 asks about the number of g-forces generated by a centrifuge spinning at 2000 rpm with a maximum radius of 10 cm. Question 23 asks about the equivalent mesh size in microns for a US Standard Sieve series equivalent to 24 mesh Tyler Standard. Question 24 provides data on particle sizes ranging from 28-200 mesh, soil viscosity, and silica density to ask about the distance between the largest and smallest particles after settling for 10 minutes.
