= 2.7

a) Water Content,
w
= Mw / M s
= 7.7 g / 23.2 g
= 0.332 @ 32%
b) Void Ratio
e
= Vv / Vs
Vs

= Ms / (Gss)
= 23.2 g / (2.7 x 1 g/ml)
= 8.593 ml

Vv

= VT Vs

Vw

= Vv

Vw

= Mw / w
= 7.7 g/ 1 g/ml
= 7.7 ml

= 1895.4 kg/m3

b) Moisture Content,
w
= Mw / M s
= 690 kg / 2464 kg
= 0.280 @ 28%
c) Dry Density,

MT

= 0.225 Ms + Ms
= Ms (0.225 +1)

Ms
