4) a) A wet sol in a barrel has mass of 100 kg. The barrel mass is 10 kg. Lab tests showed the water content of the soil is 5%. What is the dry mass of the soil? b) How many liters of water will be required to be added to increase the water content to 79% for optimum compaction? c) If the liquid imit is 60 and the plastic limit is 20; what will be the liquidity index if the moisture content is increased to 40%?
