A soil sample has a total volume of 1,485 cc. The specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.74. Then oven dry sample weight is 2,385 grams. What is the volume of the voids(in cc) in the sample? Answer in TWO(2) decimal places. Numerical values only. Don't indicate units here, just on the submitted solution.
Plz, solve this problem as detail. Geotechnical Engineering-1
In a proctor test, 1.8 kg of moist soil was filled in the mould (volume = 944 cc) after compaction. A soil sample weighting 23 g was taken from the mould and oven dried for 24 hours at a temperature of 110°C. The weight of the dry sample was found to be 20 g. The specific gravity of soil solids is G = 2.7. The theoretical maximum value of the dry unit weight of the soil at that water content is equal to
