If I have the following known about an unsaturated soil:

Applied Pressure (kPa) = 10

Gravimetric Water Content (%) = 15

Wet Unit Weight (g/cc) = 1.5

How can I figure out the dry unit weight, volumetric water content, and void ratio? Assume specific gravity is 3 and unit weight of water is 1. Thanks!
