Question

4.13 An undisturbed cylindrical soil sample is 60 mm in diameter and 152 mm long. It

has a mass of 816 g. After finding the mass of the entire sample, a small portion was

removed and a moisture content test was performed on it. The results of this test on

the subsample were:

Mass of can = 22.01 g

Mass of can + moist soil = 124.97 g

Mass of can + dry soil = 112.72 g

Using G = 2.70, compute w, y, ya, e, and S.
