Question:
In a field density test, using the oil method, the wet mass of soil removed from a small hole in the fill was 1.65 kg. The mass of oil (Gs-oil = 0.92) required to fill the hole was 0.75 kg, and the field water content was found to be 22%. If the ρs of the soil solids is 2650 kg/m3, what are the dry density and degree of saturation of the fill?

Density is a measurement that compares the amount of matter an object has to its volume. An object with much matter in a certain volume has a high density. Density helps us predict whether something will float. In this video, the density of oil is assessed by adding food color to the oil above water.
