Problems 2. The laboratory tests on a soil sample reported the values of liquid limit, plastic limit and shrinkage limits as 60%,30% and 20%, respectively. If the sample of this soil at liquid limit has a volume of 40 c.c. and its volume measured at shrinkage limit was 23.5 cc, determine the specific gravity of the solids. What is the shrinkage ratio.
