Question 5: Weight/Volume relationship A saturated clay sample weighs 12.6 N, has a diameter of 75 mm, and a height of 150 mm. If the water content is 32.9 %, what is the dry unit weight of the clay. The sample is placed in the oven until it is completely dry. Due to shrinkage, the oven dry sample has a diameter of 73 mm and a height of 145 mm. Calculate the unit weight of the dry sample. Compare the dry unit weight of the saturated sample and the unit weight of the dry sample and explain the difference.
