The mass of a moist soil sample collected from the field is 465 g, and its
oven dry mass is 405.76 g. The relative density of the soil solids was determined in the
laboratory to be 2.68 . If the void ratio of the soil in the natural state is 0.83 , find the
following:

a. The moist unit weight of the soil in the field (kN/m3 )

b. The dry unit weight of the soil in the field (kN/m3 )

c. The weight of water (in kN) to be added per cubic meter of soil in the field for saturation.
