Question: A 0 . 4 cu . ft . soil sample weighs 4 2 lbs . After drying in an over the sample weighs 3 3

A 0.4 cu.ft. soil sample weighs 42lbs. After drying in an over the sample weighs 33.8lbs. if the
specific gravity of the solids is 2.65 find the water content, void ratio, porosity, degree of
saturation, wet and dry unit weights, and all relevant volumes and weights. If the max void ratio
is 0.96 and the min void ratio is 0.32, what is the relative density of the sample?
