1.4 A test for the relative density of soil in place was performed by digging a small hole in the soil. The volume of the hole was 400 ml and the moist weight of the excavated soil was 9 N. after oven drying, the weight was 7.8 N. Of the dried soil, 4N was poured into a vessel in a very loose state, and its volume was found to be 270 ml. The same weight of soil when vibrated and compacted had a volume of 200 ml. Determine the relative density.
