Question: A soil sample has the following properties: Dr = 4 7 % and Gs = 2 . 6 5 . The same soil has maximum

A soil sample has the following properties: Dr =47% and Gs =2.65. The same soil has
maximum and minimum void ratios as follows: emax =0.95 and emin =0.38.
Find the dry and saturated (S =100%) unit weights of the soil (at Dr =47%) in pounds per
cubic feet. In addition, find the minimum and maximum dry unit weights for the soil.
Note: When finding the minimum and maximum dry unit weights do not use the void ratio
of the soil at Dr =47%.
