Reference no: EM13717231

Compute the solution of the following problem

Problem- The field capacity of a soil is 35% by weight, and the wilting point is 15% by weight. If the dry bulk density of this soil is 1.25 g/cm3.

Part 1- Determine the available water content in percent by weight and by volume.

Part 2- Determine the amount of plant available soil water in the top 2 ft of soil expressed as a depth of water in inches.

I want experts help to calculate the available water content in soil.
