A cylindrical mould of 10 cm internal diameter and 11.7 cm height weighs 1894 grams. The mould was filled up with dry soil, first at its loosest state and then at the densest state, and was found to weigh 3273 grams and 3538 grams respectively. if the natural soil existing at the field be submerged below the ground water table and has a water content of 23 %, determine the relative density of the soil. Given, G = 2.65. 12.

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-
