A SOIL SAMPLE WITH A GRAIN SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF 2.67 WAS FILLED IN A 1000ML CONTAINER IN THE LODSEST POSSIBLE STATE AND THE DRY WEIGHT OF THE SAMPLE WAS FOUND TO BE 14.75 N. IT WAS THEN FILLED AT THE DENSEST STATE OBTAINABLE AND THE WEIGHT WAS FOUND TO BE 17.70 N. THE VOID RATIO OF THE SOIL IN NATURAL STATE WAS 0.63 DETERMINE THE RELATIVE DENSITY IN NATURAL STATE.
