2- In a sand cone test using a standard sand of =1.5gcm3, a test hole was dug and weight of excavated soil was found to be 2040 g while its water content was 4%. The weight of the sand cone device filled with the standard before and after the test was 8160 g and 4490 g , respectively. Given that the volume of cone =1230cm3 and dmax in the lab compaction test =1.7gcm3, find the percent compaction (relative compaction) of the tested soil.
