Question

A dry soil sample weight hundred grams has volume of 60 ml and specific gravity 2.5 its void ratio is

Answer 1

Answer:

void ratio is defined as the ratio of the weight of water in the soil to the weight of solids in the given mass. of soil .

Explanation:

the specific gravity of the soil is given as=2.5

the weight of dry soil sample=100gms

the volume of the given sample=60ml

void ratio VW/VS

Vs=100/3.5=40

so,e= 60/40=1.5
