From an island setting, soil samples were meticulously collected to assess their suitability for a project. In laboratory testing, the granular soil's maximum void ratio was determined to be 0.95, while its minimum void ratio was found to be 0.47. These findings play a vital role in making informed decisions about the soils application in the project. a. If the relative density should be at 42.5%, what would be the void ratio? b. What are the maximum and minimum dry densities (in g/cm³)? Assume G. = 2.65.
