In a standard proctor test, 3.2 kg of moist soil was filling the mould of volume 944 cc after compaction. A soil sample weighing 40 gm was taken from the mould and oven dried for 24 hours at a temperature of 110°C. Weight of dry sample was found to be 34 gm. Specific gravity of soil solids is 2.5. The theoretical maximum value of the dry unit weight of soil at that water content is equal to
