A cohesive soil sample was taken from an SPT and returned to the laboratory in a glass jar. It was found to weigh 140.5 grams. The sample was then placed in a container of V = 500 cm³ and 423 cm of water were added to fill the container. From these data, what was the unit weight of the soil in kN/m³ and pef? 3
