Question:
In the lab, a container of saturated soil had a mass of 113.27 g before it was placed in the oven and 100.06 g after the soil had dried. The container alone had a mass of 49.31 g. The specific gravity of solids is 2.80. Determine the void ratio and water content of the original soil sample.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
