Transcribed Image Text:The table provides data from four tests to determine the moisture content and unit weight of soil samples using a mold with a volume of \( \frac{1}{30} \, \text{ft}^3 \).
**Columns:**
- Each test is labeled as Test No. 1, 2, 3, and 4, with identical mold volume.
**Rows:**
1. **Volume of Mold:**
- Consistent across all tests: \( \frac{1}{30} \, \text{ft}^3 \).
2. **Weight of Mold and Base Plate in lb, \( W_1 \):**
- Test 1: 10.35
- Test 2: 10.35
- Test 3: 10.35
- Test 4: 10.35
3. **Weight of Mold and Base Plate in lb, moist soil, \( W_2 \):**
- Test 1: 14.26
- Test 2: 14.53
- Test 3: 14.64
- Test 4: 14.50
4. **Weight of Moist Soil, \( W_2 - W_1 \):**
- Calculated by subtracting \( W_1 \) from \( W_2 \) for each test (values to be calculated).
5. **Moist Unit Weight, \( \gamma = \frac{W_2 - W_1}{\frac{1}{30}} \, \text{lb/ft}^3 \):**
- This is the moist unit weight of the soil for each test (values to be calculated).
6. **Moisture Can Number:**
- Not specified, likely a placeholder for identification purposes.
7. **Moisture Can Weight in gram, \( W_3 \):**
- Test 1: 53.4
- Test 2: 53.3
- Test 3: 53.1
- Test 4: 54.2
8. **Moisture Can Weight + Moist Soil Weight in gram, \( W_4 \):**
- Test 1: 253.0
- Test 2: 439.0
- Test 3: 490.0
