1. A block of moist soil weighs 12.72 lbs, is 0.1050 ft3 in volume, has a water content of 9.5%, and has a specific gravity of soil solids of 2.7. Assess: Va, Vw, Vs, S, e, gama d.
2. The moist unit weight of a soil is 18.7 kN/m3 Given that Gs=2.71 and w=10.3%, calculate Dry unit weight, void ratio, porosity and degree of saturation.
