    The document discusses soil properties and concepts: 1) It asks to write a short note on plasticity charts used to classify fine-grained soils. 2) It provides porosity and specific gravity values and asks to calculate dry unit weight and saturated unit weight of a sand. 3) It asks about the meaning of soil exploration, and to list the purposes of a soil exploration program. It also provides questions about Stokes' law, hydrometer analysis, liquidity index, consistency index, Darcy's law, critical hydraulic gradient, and calculating time for a falling head permeability test.
