An undisturbed core sample was obtained from an unsaturated aquifer 1.0 (3.28 ft) above the water table. The sample is 0.150 m (0.492 ft) high and 0.050 m (0 164 ft) in diameter. The solids in the aquifer have a specific gravity of 2.65. The weight of the sample was 630 grams (1.39 lbs) before drying and 570 grams (1.26 lbs) after drying. Calculate the porosity, volumetric water content, and bulk density of the aquifer.
