Question: Problem 5 . For the data below assume the density of solids is 2 . 7 0 M g m 3 and complete the following:

Problem 5. For the data below assume the density of solids is 2.70Mgm3 and complete the following:
(a) Plot the compaction curves (format appropriately, manually fit curves to data)
(b) Determine the maximum dry density and optimum water content for each test.
(c) Compute the degree of saturation at the optimum point for test A.
(d) Plot the 100%(ZAV) curve as well as the 50,70, and 90% saturation lines. Remember that the relationship is not a straight line so you will need to plot a sufficient number of points to determine the curvature.
(e) Plot the line of optimums based on the data from the three tests.
