Question: Problem 8 ( 1 Point ) A cubic meter of dry ( no water ) quartz sand ( G s = 2 . 6 5

Problem 8(1 Point) A cubic meter of dry (no water) quartz sand (G s =2.65) with a porosity
of 60% is immersed in an oil bath having a unit weight of 0.92 g/cm3. How much force in
addition to the upthrust (buoyant force) is required to prevent the sand from sinking if the
soil contains 0.27m 3 of entrapped air after submergence? (1kg=9.81N, Unit density of
water=1000 kg/m 3)
