PROBLEM:
A dry soil is mixed with 17% by mass with water and compacted.
The volume of wet soil is 0.001 m³ and has a mass of 1.6 kg. If the
specific gravity of soil is 2.70.
a.What is the dry unit weight of the soil sample in kN/m3?
b.What is the void ratio of the sample?
c.What is the degree of saturation of the sample, in percent?

EXAMPLE #2:
A fully saturated clay sample has a mass of 1526 grams. After oven drying, its mass was reduced to 1053 grams.
The specific gravity soil particles is 2.7.
a. What is the moisture content of the sample in percent?
b. What is the void ratio?
c. What is the porosity?
Given:
mSAT = 1526 g
MDRY = 1053 g
G = 2.7
S= 1
1. Moisture content, MC
2. Void ratio, e
3. Porosity, n
