PROBLEM No. 5A test of density of soil in place was performed by digging a small holein the soil, weighing the extracted soil, and measuring the volume ofthe hole. The soil (moist) weighed 895 g; the volume of the hole was426 cm³. After drying, the sample weighed 779 g. Of the dried soil, 400g was poured into asubsequently determined to be 276 cm³. That same 400 g was thenvibrated and tamped to volume of 212 cm³. If the specific density is2.71, determine the following:vessel in a very loose state. Its volume wasMoist unit weight in g/cm³.Minimum dry unit weight in g/cm³.Maximum dry unit weight in g/cm³.а.b.С.d. Void ratio in natural state.е.Void ratio in loosest state.f.Void ratio in densest state.g.Relative density of the soil.

1. A soil sample was taken in site and brought back to the laboratory. It was found out that the weight of the soil is 2kg. The sample was placed to a container of 1L and 845 mL of water to fill the container. Calculate the Density and Unit Weight of the Soil Sample in English and in Metric Units.
A sample of soil was tested in the laboratory, and the test results were listed as follows. Classify the soil by both the AASHTO and the USCS. - LL = 29%, PL = 19% Sieve Size 1 in 3/4 in 3/8 in #4 #10 #40 #200 Percent Passing 100 90 82 70 65 54 25
