Question: A sandy soil has a total unit weight ( ) of 1 7 kN / m 3 , water content ( w ) of 1

A sandy soil has a total unit weight () of 17 kN/m3, water content (w) of 10%, and Gs=2.7. What is its
void ratio (e) and saturated unit weight (sat )? Note that the void ratio would remain constant
and the water content would change in order to saturate the soil from its current state.
