A 50-mm-diameter and 150-mm-long undisturbed soil sample was collected

A 50-mm-diameter and 150-mm-long undisturbed soil sample was collected from a site. The sample has a mass of 480 g, which becomes 350 g when dried in the oven at 105°C for 24 h. The specific gravity of the soil grains is 2.71.

Determine:

i. The moisture content (%),

ii. Void ratio,

iii. Degree of saturation (%),

iv. The bulk unit kN/m3.

Hint
Engineeringii)The volume of voids to the volume of solids in a combination is measured as the void ratio. In the field of materials science, it is a dimensionless quantity that is closely associated with porosity as follows: is porosity, VS is the volume of solids, VT is the total or bulk volume, and VV is the volume of void space (such as fluids)....
