Geotechnical Engineering (UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION CORRECLTY. NO LONG EXPLANATION NEEDED. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.) In an experiment, a soil is dug out from the ground with weight equal to 1364 grams, then oven dried, and then saturated with water. The oven-dried weight was 1067 grams. After saturating with water, it weighed 1462 grams. If the volume of the test hole is comparable to the volume of a sphere with diameter of 11.48cm, determine the water content in % in in situ condition. (3 decimal places - Do not round off unless it's the final answer
