A container with saturated soil has a mass of 154 g. After being dried, it weighs 142 g. The soil has a specific gravity of 2.70. The container alone weighs 91 g. Determine the moisture content, void ratio and porosity of the given soil.

The void ratio of the soil is given as 0.6. Determine the porosity of the soil.

An undisturbed sample of soil has a volume of 100 cm3 and mass of 190 g. On ovendrying for 24 hours, the mass is reduced to 160 g. If the specific gravity of grains is 2.68,determine the water content, voids ratio and degree of saturation of the soil.
