A soil sample is collected from the field. The sample initially weighs $16lbs$

and weighs $14\mathrm{.}5lbs$ after drying in the oven. What is the moisture content of

the sample $($in $\%)?$

The following were measured for a soil: loose density of $2500l\frac{b}{c}$uyd, in

place density of $3000l\frac{b}{c}$uyd, and compacted density of $3600l\frac{b}{c}u$ yd$.$ Use

this information to calculate the swell, shrinkage, load factor, and shrinkage

factor.
