The moist unit weights and degrees of saturation of a soil are given below

degree of saturation        moisture unit weight

50                                             16.64

75                                              17.73

1. determine the saturated unit weight in kn/m3

2. determine the unit weight of soil in in kn/m3 if s = 13%. round off to two decimal places

3.  determine the unit weight of the soil in in kn/m3 if s = 69% round off to two decimal places
