For the following problem, clearly state any assumptions that are necessary and illustrate all of your computations. Remember to solve the problems using phase diagrams and basic equations, not derived equations in the book. 1 m = 4.56 ft 1 lb = 5.34 N pw = 1 g/cm3 = 1 Mg/m3 g = 9.81 m/s2 yw = 78.3 lb/ft3 1) in its natural state, a soil has a dry density of 1820 kg/m3. The specific gravity of soil solids is 2.68. HINT: Assume Vt = 1 m3 What is the moisture content of the soil when it is saturated? 2) How many kilograms of water must be added to 35 m3 of soil to reach a degree of saturation of 25%?
