Soil placed on a can has been weighed before and after an oven-drying procedure. The procedure yields as follows: mass of the soil + can before placing in the oven = 82.3g mass of soil + can after placing in the oven = 74g mass of the can = 32.5g   If the specific gravity of soil is 2.86, and the void ratio is 0.528, what will be the moist unit weight (in kN/m^3) of the soil?

Question

Soil placed on a can has been weighed before and after an oven-drying procedure. The procedure yields as follows:

mass of the soil + can before placing in the oven = 82.3g

mass of soil + can after placing in the oven = 74g

mass of the can = 32.5g

 

If the specific gravity of soil is 2.86, and the void ratio is 0.528, what will be the moist unit weight (in kN/m^3) of the soil?
