A dry soil is placed in a container having a volume of 0.0085 m. The dry weight of the sample is 0.14 kN. Water is carefully added to the container so as not to disturb the condition of the sand. When the container is filled, the combined weight of soil plus water is 0.17 kN. From these data, compute the void ratio of soil in the container, and the specific gravity of the soil particles.
