During a field density test, $2,000g$ of soil was excavated from a hole having a volume of $950c{m}^3.$

The oven$-$dried mass of soil is $1,750gm.$ Determine water content, dry density $($in $g\frac{m}{c}{m}^3),$ void

ratio, and degree of saturation. Sp$.$ Gravity of solids is $2\mathrm{.}7.[$Ans$.w=14\mathrm{.}3\%$;${}_d=1\mathrm{.}837g\frac{m}{c}{m}^3$;$e=$

$0\mathrm{.}469$;$S=82\mathrm{.}3\%]$

Draw a phase diagram for the soil.

What will be the total density of the soil if the soil is fully saturated? Will there be any change in the

dry density when the soil is saturated?
