The weight of a specimen immediately after removal from sampler was 35.20 gm and the same specimen after overdrying weighed 20.20 gm. The volume of the sample before drying was found by immersing in mercury to be 25 cc. If the specific gravity of soil solids was 2.70. What were the moisture content, void ratio, degree of saturation, bulk density and drying density of the specimen?
