FORMULA: The formula for calculating the water content for Plastic limits is as follows: W1 – W2 Water Content (w) x 100% W2 - Wo Whereas: > w, = Weight of container in grams (g) > w1 = Weight of Water + Wet Soil in grams (g) > w2 Weight of Water + Oven-dry Soil in grams (g) %3D > w, - w2 = Weight of water in grams (g) > w2 – Wo = Weight of the oven-dry soil in grams (g) %3D %3D DATA AND RESULTS Sample (Determination No.) Container number Weight of container, (g) II II 26.10 21.86 23.91 Weight of Water + Wet Soil, (kg) 0.03318 0.3574 0.3115 Weight of Water + Oven-dry Soil, (kg) 0.3220 0.3351 0.3006 Weight of water, (g) Weight of the oven-dry soil, (g) Water Content (w) Plastic Limits, wp % (average of determinations)
