A sample of moist soil having a wet mass of 1.0 kg and a volume of 0.64 liter (6.4 x 10-4 m3) was dried in the oven and found to have a dry mass of 0.8 kg. Assuming a typical value of particle density of 2650 kg/m3, calculate the bulk density ρb, porosity f, mass water content θg, volumetric water content θv, and air-filled porosity fa.

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-
