Question: 6 A clay sample, mass 6 8 3 g , is dipped in melted wax and its mass is determined as 6 9 0 ,

6 A clay sample, mass 683 g , is dipped in melted wax and its mass is determined as
690,6g. The volume of the sample and wax together is determined as 350,cm3. After
removing the wax the moisture content of the soil is determined as 16.8%. The density
of the solid particles is 2,73gcm3. The density of the wax is 0,89gcm3. Calculate the
bulk density, degree of saturation, void ratio, submerged density and porosity.
