Question

An undisturbed cylindrical soil sample is 60 mm in diameter and 152 mm long. It has amass 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 sub-sample were:

Mass of can = 22.01 g

Mass of can + moist soil =124.97 g

Mass of can + dry soil =112.72 g

Using Gs = 2.70, compute w, y, Yd, e, and S.
