Problem 4a
A soil sample taken in the field using a 10 cm -long cylindrical core with 4 cm diameter has a field mass of 200 g before being dried for 24 hours in an oven. Dry mass is 160 g . Sieve analysis indicates the sample is 20% clay, 60% silt, 20% sand. Particle density (m) may be assumed as 2.650gcm3.
Calculate the bulk density (in gcm3).
