2. In a field density test using the sand cone test, the wet mass of soil removed from the hole in the fill was 1.59 kg. The mass of dry sand (dry density = 1750 kg/m³) required to fill the hole was 1.575 kg, and the field water content was found to be 25%. If the density of the soil solids for both soils is 2700 kg/m², what is the dry density and degree of saturation of the fill? %3D
