2. A cone penetration test has been conducted, and has measured a cone resistance of 85 kg/cm² at a depth of 10 m. The vertical effective stress at this depth is 150 kPa, and the overconsoliation ratio is 2. The soils at this depth are quartz sands. Compute the relative density, and classify the soil using Table 3.3.
