Question:

For two soils subjected to "no," "moderate," or -severe' compaction, Figure shows the volume fraction (cm3 cm-3) of pores in three size classes. The symbol ◄ indicates the volume fraction of water. θv (cm3 cm-3), in each soil. The figure indicates that θv = 0.35 for the uncompacted clay loam (bulk density =0.75 g cm-3). Show a complete calculation (with all units) to demonstrate that ◄ in the figure correctly indicates that θv = 0.36 for the severely compacted sandy loam (bulk density = 1.10 g/cm3).
