Question
b) A geotechnical laboratory reported these results of five samples taken from a
single boring. Determine which are not correctly reported, if any, show your work.
Hint:take Yw = 9.81kN/m³
Sample #1:w=30%,Ya = 14.9 kN/m³, Ys = 27 kN/m³, clay
Sample #2:w=20%,Ya = 18 kN/m³, Ys = 27 kN/m³, silt
Sample #3:w=10%,Ya = 16 kN/m³, Y = 26 kN/m³, sand
Sample #4:w=22%,Yd = 17.3 kN/m³, Ys = 28 kN/m³, silt
Sample #5:w=22%,Yd = 18 kN/m³, Ys = 27 kN/m³, silt
