(b) For a field test the technician is using a sand with a density of 92.15pcf in his sand cone test.
Calculate the dry density, degree of saturation and moisture content of a compacted fill using the
following data that the technician collected:
Weight of sand cone bottle before test (full of sand): 13.72lbs
Final weight of sand cone (some sand remains): 4.31lbs
Weight of sand needed to fill cone: 2.43lbs
Weight of fill soil excavated from hole + bucket: 10.91lbs
Weight of bucket used to collect fill soil: 0.87lbs
Moisture content of fill soil:
Empty can: 42.1g
Can + moist soil: 273.8g
Can + dry soil: 242.2g
