Void ratio is the volume of the open spaces in a soil to the volume of the solids.
CALCULATIONS
First get the volume of the solid given the specific gravity as 2.67 and the mass of the solid as 918g
We convert the mass to kg to get 0.918Kgs.
V = mass/density.
V of the solid= 0.918/(2.67 ×1000)=0.00034382m³
Volume of the void is :
Total volume - volume of the solid
600 - 0.00034382 =599.999656m³
Void ratio =Volume of void /volume of solid
599.9996562/0.00034382 = 1745098.18
