Question

A sample of clay wad coated with paraffin wax and its mass including the mass of wax was found to be 697.5 gram. The sample was immersed in water and the volume of water displaced was found to be 355ml. The mass of sample without wax was 690 gram and the water content of the specimen was 18%. Determine the bulk density, void ratio, and degree of saturation. The specific gravity of solids was 2.70 and that of wax was 0.89​

Answer 1
