A mass of soil is coated with a thin layer of paraffin wax. The paraffin weighs 6.906 gm, and the soil alone weighs 443 gm. When the sample is immersed in water, it displaces 346 ml of water. The specific gravity of soil solid is 2.67 and that of wax is 0.89. The degree of saturation of the soil is: (Given water content of soil is 17.2%)
