In an oil drilling project, a heavy viscous liquid ( drilling mud) was used to keep the drilling hole open. It consists of suspension in water of the following properties for litre of volume: `380` gm of clay of `G=2.82` `82` gm of sand of `G=2.68` `300` gm of iron filling of `G=7.13` Assuming that Unit Weight of water= `1` gram per cc and uniformly mixed suspension, what is the unit weight of suspension?
