1.A sample of soil is compacted into a 9.44 X 10-4 m3 laboratory mold. The mass of the compacted soil is 1.91 kg, and its moisture content is 14.5%. Using a specific gravity of solids of 2.66, compute the degree of saturation, density (kg/m3), unit weight (kN/m3), unit weight (kN/m3) and dry unit weight of this compacted soil.
2.A cube of moist soil weighs 330 lb and has a volume of 3.00 ft3. Its moisture content is 27.0% and the specific gravity of solids is 2.72. Compute the void ratio, porosity, degree of saturation, unit weight and dry unit weight of this soil.
