2. A cohesive soil sample was taken from an SPT and returned to the laboratory. It was found to weigh 140.5 g. The sample was then placed in a container of volume 500 cm and 423 cm water was added to fill the container. From these data, determine the unit weight of the soil in kN/ mand pcf (lbs/ft3). Clearly present steps involved in obtaining the required unit weights. Answer: y=17.9 kN/m² and p=114 pcf.
