: A wet soil sample with a water content of 15% and percentage air voids of 20% was oven dried. If the soil sample is cylindrical in dimension with length as 100 mm and diameter as 50 mm, then how much mass of water is present in the soil? Also calculate the mass of soil. Assume specific gravity of soil is 2.69 Interpret your answer and conclude how water content influences the unit weight of soil.

A soil has a natural water content of 10%, specific gravity of
2.65, and porosity of 0.45.
a) Find the dry unit weight and degree of saturation.
b) If the optimum water content for the soil from a standard
proctor was 20%, how much water would have to be added to 1m^3 of
the soil to increase the water content to an optimum level?
