NEED ASAP please
A soil sample is mixed with distilled water and being poured into a calibrated pycnometer. The weight and temperature were observed and recorded as shown below. Then the entire mixture of soil and water was poured into a large evaporating dish of known weight by rinsing the pycnometer carefully to ensure collection of all the soil. The soil is then dried into the oven and after it cools down, it is then weighed. The results are shown below.
Wt. of pycnometer + water + soil = 707.416g
Wt. of pycnometer + water = 674.491g
Wt. of evaporating dish + dry soil = 492.696g
Wt. of evaporating dish = 439.061g
solve for the following:
A.Compute the specific gravity of soil.
b.Compute the saturated density in g/cu.cm.if it has a void ratio of 0.6099.
c. Compute the degree of saturation in percent for a moisture content of 22.311%
