A soil sample with a grain specific gravity of 2.67 was filles in a 1000 ml container in the loosest possible state and the dry weight of the sample was found to be 14.75 N. It was then filled at the densest state obtainabe and the
Weight was found to be 17.70 N. The void ratio of the soil in the natural state was 0.63. Determine the density Index in the natural state.
