4.29 A soil initially has a degree of saturation of 95% and a unit weight of 129 lb/ft'. It is then placed in an oven and dried. After removal from the oven, its unit weight is 109 lb/ft. Compute the void ratio, porosity, initial moisture content, and specific gravity of the soil, assuming its volume did not change during the drying process.
