A sample of silty sand has a volume of 215 cm3. It has weight of 514.7 g. After saturating the sample the weight is 594.2 g. The sample is then drained by gravity until it reaches a constant weight of 483.4 g. Finally, the sample is dried in an oven for 10 hours, and it reaches the weight of 452.1 g. Assume the density of water is 1 g/cm3. Compute the following: a. Water content
b. Volumetric water content
c. Saturation ratio
d. Porosity
e. Specific yield
f. Specific retention
g. Dry bulk density
