A fine-grained soil has a LL = 61; PL = 30. A moisture content test was performed on a bulk sample and yielded the following data:

  • Mass dry soil + Tare = 71.9g
  • Mass moist soil + Tare = 96.2g
  • Mass Tare = 20.8g

Compute the plasticity index, water content, and liquidity index. Classify this soil according to USCS with the data available.
