with full soln pls
Given the following characteristics of a soil sample:

                        Volume = 0.5 cubic ft.

                         Weight = 56.7 lbs

      The solids have specific gravity of 2.69. After oven drying,

      the weight of the soil was 48.7 pounds. What is the density,

      porosity and degree of saturation of the in-situ soil?

this should be the ANS.: ϒ = 113.4 lbs/ft3, n = 41.98%, S = 61.1%
