Question

the ratio of the weight of given volume of soil solids to the weight of an equal volume of distilled water at the given temperature, is known

Answer 1

Answer:

weight of an equal volume of distilled water at a given temperature, is called specific ... Or The ratio of the density of solids to that of water, is called specific gravity of soil solids.

Answer 2

The ratio of the weight of a given volume of solids to the weight of an equal volume of distilled water at a given temperature is known as specific gravity.

• The Specific Gravity of soil solids and soils is referred to as the solid mass in the soil which is compared to the water mass.
• The volume remains constant.
• The Specific Gravity is an average of all the soil particles being included.
• Normally, the Specific Gravity falls within the range of 2.65 to 2.80 where the coarser soil has a low amount of specific gravity compared to the finer particles of soil.
