Plastic Limit of Soil given Plasticity Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Plastic Limit = Liquid Limit-Plasticity Index
W_p = W_l-I_p
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Plastic Limit - Plastic limit is water content at which soil changes from semi solid to plastic state.
Liquid Limit - Liquid limit is the water content of the soil that would correspond to the standard groove closing in 25 drops of the cup.
Plasticity Index - Plasticity Index is difference between liquid limit and plastic limit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Liquid Limit: 2.4 --> No Conversion Required
Plasticity Index: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_p = W_l-I_p --> 2.4-1.2

Evaluating ... ...

W_p = 1.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.2 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.2 <-- Plastic Limit
