7. The following data was obtained from laboratory tests for a cohesive specimen: moisture content, w, was 22.5%; G=2.60; and to determine the approximate unit weight, a sample having a mass of 224.0 g was placed in 500 cm³ container with 382 cm³ of water required to fill the container. a. What is the Total Unit Weight of the soil sample in kN/m³? b. What is the Dry Unit Weight of the soil sample in kN/m³ ? c. What is the void ratio?
