Question

Q:The following Data Were recorded while a group did moisture content test:

	Test Number
	1	2	3
Can No.	G42	G31	G54
Mass of can, Wy (g)	17.28	18.92	16.07
Mass of can + wet soil, W2 (g)	43.52	52.19	39.43
Mass of can + dry soil, W3 (g)	39.86	47.28	36.82
Mass of moisture, W2 - W3 (g)	3.66	4.58	3.38
Mass of dry soil, W3 -W] (g)	22.55	28.28	20.02
Moisture content, w(%) =	16.2	16.0	16.5

1. Determine the average Moisture content of the above soil ?
2. What is standard procedure that was followed to get the above results?
3. What are the sources of Error is such type of Experiment ?
