o T ☺ ť Q2/ Two helicopters, H1 and H2, are traveling together. At the time t = 0, they separate and follow different straight line paths given by H: x = 6+ 40t y = -3 + 10t z = -3 + 2t H2: x = 6+ 110t y = -3 + 4t z = -3 +t Time t is measured in hours and all coordinates are measured in miles. Due to an error, H, stops its flight at (446, 13, 1) and lands at (446, 13, 0). Two hours later, H, is informed about Hz and moved toward H, at 175 mph. How long will it takes H, to reach H2?

2. Combined mechanical analysis of a given sample of soil was carried out. The total weight of soil used in the analysis was 350 g. The sample was divided into coarser and finer fractions by washing it through a 75 microns sieve The finer traction was 125 g. The coarser fraction was used for the sieve analysis and 50 g of the finer fraction was used for the hydrometer analysis. The test results were as given below: Sieve analysis: Particle size Mass retained g Particle size Mass retained g 4.75mm 9.0 355 A 24.5 2 00 mm 155 180H 49.0 140) ml 10.5 125- 28.0 1.00 mm 105 75 p 43.0 500 L 35.0
