![QI/ A contractor excavates 10,000 m soil at moist unit weight of 17.5 kN/m' and moisture
content of 10% from a borrow pit and transports it to a project site. The project has an
area of 20,000 m2 to be filled with this compacted soil. If the required dry unit weight
and moisture content of the compacted soil are 18.3 kN/m and 12.5% (assume there is
no soil loss during transportation and compaction), what is the thickness of the
compacted soil and how much water needs to be added?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe5e5e678-e28b-4d69-b7f4-d6a94aafc082%2Ff723978e-376d-47fc-8a61-47040b415ebf%2Fr82i82a_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
