A 35 cc volume of core sampler was used in bulk density determination. The fresh soil in the sampler collected in the field weighed 83.5 g was oven dried. After 24 hours of oven drying the sample at 110oC, 20 grams of moisture were removed. Calculate the following: a. Bulk density b. Moisture content at weight basis and volume basis c. Percent pore space if the particle density is 2.63 g/cc d. Percent pore space filled
