1- For a given sandy soil, the maximum and minimum void ratios were determined to be 0.80 and 0.25, respectively. The bulk (moist) density (r) of a field specimen of the soil at a moisture content (w) of 12% was 1.85 Mg/m3. Assuming Gs =2.68, determine the relative density (Dr) and degree of saturation (S) of this specimen.

Weight-Volume relationships

Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. Weight can also be defined as the force acting on a body due to gravity. Mathematically, weight can be defined as-
