Situation 2. A granular soil located in a borrow pit is found to have an in place dry density of 1895 kg/m^3. In the laboratory, values of dry maximum density and minimum density are determined as 2100 kg/m^3 and 1440 kg/m^3, respectively. a. Compute the relative density of the soil in the borrow pit. b. Compute the void ratio of the soil in the natural condition if the maximum and minimum densities indicate void ratio ratios of 0.28 at the max density and 0.92 at minimum density. c. Compute the specific gravity of this soil.
