Problem For a given sol, the following are known, G, = 2.70, moist unit weight is 20.3067&N /m², and the moisture content of 15%. 1. Determine the dry unit weight (in kN/m³). 2. Determine the porosity (in %).- 3. Determine the degree of saturation (in %). 4. Determine the volume of water in liters to be added per cubic meter of soil for a 100% degree of saturation. 5. Determine the effective unit weight (y') of the soil sample (in kN /m²).
