Compute the degree of saturation-density and dry unit weight

Reference no: EM13315305

A sample of soil is compacted into a 9.44 X 10-4 m3 laboratory mold. The mass of the compacted soil is 1.91 kg, and its moisture content is 14.5%. Using a specific gravity of solids of 2.66, compute the degree of saturation, density (kg/m3), unit weight (kN/m3), unit weight (kN/m3) and dry unit weight of this compacted soil.
