3- The natural water content of a sample taken from a soil deposit was found to be 1.5%. It has been calculated that the maximum density for the seil will be obtained when the water content reachs 21.5%. Compute how many grams of water must be added to each 1000 1000 g of soil in its natural state in order to increase the water content to 21.5% (Ans. 100g).
