B) Draw the neat sketch of soil sampler showing its components. Explain the Understand 06
below terms associated with it:
1) Area Ratio, 2) Inside Clearance & 3) Outside clearance
C) A sampling tube has inner diameter of 80 mm and cutting edge of inner di- Apply & 06
ameter 70 mm. it has outside diameter of sampling tube and cutting edge are analyze
83 mm and 86 mm respectively. Determine the
