A 1000 cc soil sample taken from the field weighs 1950 grams. Laboratory analysis shows that the specific gravity of soil solids is 2.65 and its water content is 13%. The voids ratio at its loosest and densest states are 0.68 and 0.48, respectively. Calculate the following: a.) The in situ void ratio of the soil mass. b.) The dry unit weight of the soil. c.) The relative density of the soil.

Weight-Volume relationships

Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. Weight can also be defined as the force acting on a body due to gravity. Mathematically, weight can be defined as-
