You were tasked to prepare a reconstituted soil specimen for testing. You filled a split mold 50 mm in diameter and 100 mm in height with moist soil. You weighed the mold before and after adding the soil. You recorded 1250 g for the mold alone and 1460 g for the mold filled with moist soil. You then placed the mold with moist soil in the oven (110°C) overnight. Next morning you weighed the mold and dry soil. You recorded 1425 g. Provide the requested information below. Assume a specific gravity of solids of 2.60. (12 Marks) Water content in percent(3 sigs). Porosity (3 sigs). Degree of saturation in percentage(3 sigs). Wet unit weight in kN/m3 (3 sigs). Dry density in kg/m3 (3 sigs). How much water in liters) you must add to the moist soil to make it saturated?
