The results of a standard Proctor test are given in the following table.
a) Determine the maximum dry unit weight of compaction and the optimum moisture content. Given: Mold volume = 1/30 ft3.
b) Determine the void ratio and the degree of saturation at the optimum moisture content. Given: Gs = 2.69.

Trial no.	Weight of moist soil in the mold (lb)	Moisture content (%)
1	3.7	8.6
2	4.15	10.6
3	4.69	12.5
4	4.62	14.9
5	4.02	16.7
6	3.63	18.3
