8. A sample of soil has a water content w= 14.7%, and a cube of dimensions 10 cm x 10 cm × 10 cm weighs 18.4 N. The grain specific gravity Gs = 2.72. Calculate the unit weight, the void ratio and the degree of saturation. What would be the unit weight and the water content if the soil had the same void ratio, but was saturated? What would be the unit weight if the soil had a water content of zero?
