Concept explainers

Weight-Volume relationships
Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. Weight can also be defined as the force acting on a body due to gravity. Mathematically, weight can be defined as-
Question
100%

b. A soil layer with a moisture content of 10 percent and a unit weight of 16.5 KN per cubic meter 
has a decrease in volume by 10 percent after compaction. Find the dry specific weight of the soil.

 Please solve question (b)  I have the answer of Question (a)if you need information please use the question a. given data:

a. The moisture content of the soil specimen is 20%, and the total weight is 300 gr. Calculate the
