A cylindrical sample of a soil taken from a sampling tube is 6.3 cm diameter and 12.5 cm long and has a mass of 683 gm. After oven drying it weighs 495 gm. Assuming that the particles have a specific gravity, Gs=2.70, calculate the water content, bulk density, dry density, void ratio and degree of saturation?
