100
B.
250
C.
1000
AnswerD.
10000
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
In the determination of moisture equivalent, the centrifugal force is used 1000 times of gravity.Moisture equivalent is defined as the percentage of water that a soil can retain in opposition to a centrifugal force 1000 times that of gravity. It is measured by saturating a sample of soil 1 cm thick and subjecting it to a centrifugal force of 1000 times gravity for 3 min.
