A hand-carved sample of clay having a mass of 2.62 kN is removed from a 0.5 meter- diameter hole. The hole can be filled with 1.33 kN of water. A sample of clay having a mass of 112.4 grams is oven-dried and has a dry mass of 103.6 grams. Assuming the maximum and minimum attainable unit weight of 18.47 kN/m3 and 16.33 kN/m3  and specific gravity of 2.67, what is the relative density of the soil in percent? Relative Density= %

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-
