Following are the results of a field unit weight determination test on a soil using the Sand Cone Method. Determine the field unit weight of the soil. FEEDBACK GUARANTEED Calibration:Determination of mass of sand to fill the cone:Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) = 6.25 kgMass of jar + cone +sand (after use) = 6.09 kgDetermination of dry density of the sand:Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) = 6.28 kgMass of jar + cone + sand (after use) = 4.62 kgVolume of the mold=943.333 cm³Determination of the field unit weight:Mass of jar + cone + sand (before use) = 6.27 kgMass of jar + cone + sand (after use) = 3.18 kgMass of excavated moist soil from the hole = 3.58kgMoisture content of the moist soil = 11.24%Field Test:

Solution Given: Calibration: Weight of Jar + Cone + Sand (before use), W1=6.25kg Weight of Jar +…
