The laboratory compaction test of a certain type of soil gives a maximum dry density of 1.486 g/cc with an optimum moisture content of 12.5%. Determine the relative compaction of the soil using the following results of a filed unit weight determination test using sand cone method. Volume of soil excavated from the hole = 0.001337 m Weight of moist soil from the hole = 2220 g Weight of oven dried soil = 1890 g Select one: a. 95. 10 b. 97.25 c. 90.34 d. 88.41

Weight-Volume relationships

Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. Weight can also be defined as the force acting on a body due to gravity. Mathematically, weight can be defined as-
