A{'text': '1.3 kg', 'label': 'A'}
B{'text': '13.6 kg', 'label': 'B'}
C{'text': '5.0 kg', 'label': 'C'}
D{'text': '50.0 kg', 'label': 'D'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. {'text': '13.6 kg', 'label': 'B'}
1. §5.4.5: 'In Kelly Ball test this indenter is 15 cms in diameter and is a metal hemisphere weighing 13.6 Kgs.'
2. The test is read to the nearest 6 mm of penetration; results are more consistent than slump but require a larger sample and cannot be used in thin members.
