A sample of soil obtained from a borrow pit has a moist weight of $42$ lbs$.$ The total volume

occupied by the sample when in the ground was $0\mathrm{.}34$ ft $3.$ The specific gravity of solids is

$2\mathrm{.}66$ for the sample. A small piece of the sample is used to determine the water content. The

mass of the small piece is $150$ grams before drying and $125$ grams after drying $($assume this

small piece is taken before weight and volume of big sample is determined, so don$$t subtract

it from the big sample values$).$ Determine the following for the borrow pit sample:

a$)$ Water content $($assume it is the same as the value for the small piece that was dried$)$

b$)$ Moist $($total$)$ unit weight

c$)$ Dry unit weight

d$)$ Void ratio

e$)$ Degree of saturation
