: 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.
