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
