A field density test has been run on a soil containing 17% of its weight in particles retained on the No. 4 sieve. The dry density of the total sample was 127.2 pcf and the water content was 7%. The water content of the gravel fraction was 2%. The specific gravity of solids was 2.71.
1. Compute the water content of the soil fraction of the fill that passes the No. 4 sieve.
2. Compute the dry density of the soil fraction of the fill that passes the No. 4 sieve.
