Thank you very muchThe weight of a chunk of moist soil is 208 g and the volume of the sil chunkmeasured before drying is 120 cubic cm. After being dried out in the oven, the weight of the dry soil is 170 grams. Use Gs=2.65a. Compute the water content of the soil.b. Compute the void ratio.c. Compute the degree of saturation.In a partially saturated soil, the moisture content W% is 66.67%, the relative specific gravity of solids Ss is 2.5, and the saturated specific gravity of the sample is 1.45 g/cm3. If the volume of air is equal to 8 cm3. Determine the other quantities of the scheme, and calculate: e, n, Gw%, Ym, Yd, Ysat, Y'. Note: Kindly answer all with clear calculations.
