Unit 3 - Week 2: Assignment 2

This document contains a summary of week 2 of a geotechnical engineering laboratory course. It includes 10 multiple choice questions covering topics like liquid limit tests, grain size analysis, Atterberg limits, compaction, and permeability. The questions test understanding of concepts like liquid limit, plastic limit, optimum moisture content, maximum dry density, and how permeability is affected by compaction moisture content.
