A large soil sample obtained from a borrow pit has a wet mass of 26.50kg. The in-place volume occupied by the sample is 0.013m3. A small portion of the sample is used to determine the water content, the wet mass is 135g and after drying in the oven, the mass is 117g. Determine soil water content, moist density for the condition at the borrow pit and dry density at the borrow pit.
