Question:

A forester obtained a cylindrical core (L = 15 cm, r = 3.5 cm) of soil from a field site. She placed all the soil in a metal can with a tight-fitting lid. The empty metal can weighed 300 g and when filled with the field-moist soil weighed 972 g. Back in the lab, she placed the can of soil, with lid removed, in an oven for several days until it ceased to lose weight. The weight of the dried can with soil (including the lid) was 870 g. Calculate both θm and θv.
