A plastic limit test has been performed on a soil. Threads of the soil that broke at a diameter of 1/8 in. were collected for a moisture content test, which yield the following results: Mass of soil + can before placing in oven 41.30 g Mass of soil + can after removal from oven 37.40 g Mass of can 22.20 g Compute the plastic limit of the soil. Express it in percentage (input the numerical value only without including the % sign).
