![2) Two aggregates (Al and A2) were obtained from the field. They were brought to
the oven dry condition (OD) and weighed. Data for each of the aggregates is presented in the
table below. (Density of water=lg/cm³)

a) Describe the field moisture state of each aggregate, Al and A2 (i.e. wet, SSD, or air dry).
For each sample would you add water or dry the sample to bring it to SSD state? Determine
the expected mass of each sample in the SSD state.
b) If the bulk volume Al oven dry is 220 cm³ and the bulk volume of A2 oven dry is 250 cm³,
determine the bulk oven dry specific gravity for each aggregate, Al and A2.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F353c3794-347f-4ab8-88dd-0507cbf9bcdf%2F8e030567-6718-4948-9e18-47ddfcba2b6f%2Ferjqodu_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
