clay was extracted from a soil sampling tube to form a cylindrical sample 100 mm in diameter and 100mm in length.the sample was weighed in its natrual moist state and found to have a total mass of 1531g. After drying, the sample was weighed again and the dry mass was found to be 1178g.

If the specfic gravity of the soil particles is 2.75,calculate the following properties of the clay:

a) Bulk density
b) Water content
c) void ratio
d) Dry density
e) Degree of saturation
f) Air void content
