Q)In its natural state, a moist soil sample has a volume of 0.0025m3 and mass of (5) kg. After drying in the oven the soil mass reduced to 4.329 kg. If the particle density of the soil solids is 2.70 Mg/m3, calculate the moisture content, wet density, dry density, voids ratio, porosity and degree of saturation of the soil.
