Example $12\mathrm{.}2$: A moist soil sample compacted into a mould of $1000c{m}^3$ capacity and weight

$35$ N $,$ weighs $53\mathrm{.}5$ N with the mould. A representative sample of soil taken from it has an

initial weight of $0\mathrm{.}187$ N and even dry weight of $0\mathrm{.}1691$ N $.$ Determine $($a$)$ water content, $($b$)$ wet

density, $($c$)$ dry density, $($d$)$ void ratio and $($e$)$ degree of saturation of sample.

If the soil sample is so compressed as to have all air expelled, what will be the new

volume and new dry density?
