A bucket of dry sand is divided into two samples with equal mass: Sample A and Sample B.

Both samples are prepared to a void ratio of 0.6.

Then, 10 grams of water are added to Sample A, and 10 grams of oil (oil density = 0.8 grams/mL) are added to Sample B. Consider that the
degree of saturation is applicable to any liquid. Which of the following is true?

Question 2

A bucket of dry sand is divided into two samples with equal mass: Sample A and Sample B. Both samples are prepared to a void ratio of
0.6. Then, 10 mL of water are added to Sample A, and 10 mL of oil (oil density = 0.8 grams/mL) are added to Sample B. Let us define a
phase relationship called the "liquid content" as the mass of liquid divided by the mass of solids. Which of the following is true?

Question 3

The lab technician you recently hired tells you the following:

"Boss, an undisturbed sample of saturated clayey soil was brought to me from the Mission Valley site. I measured the mass of the sample
to be 600 grams. I then measured the mass of the sample after placing it in the oven for 24 hrs. I found this mass to be 200 grams. Can
you help me determine the water content?"

Determine the water content. If the answer makes sense, write it as a percentage (not a decimal) in the answer box. If the answer does
not make sense (meaning the technician may have made a mistake), then write the number 11 in the answer box.

A bucket of dry sand is divided into two samples with equal mass: Sample A and Sample B. Sample A is prepared to a void ratio of 0.6.
Sample B is prepared to a void ratio of 0.8. Then, 10 grams of water are added to each sample. Which of the following is true?

Question 5

A sample of soil is prepared by mixing 500 grams of dry gravel with 20 grams of water. The mixed soil is then placed in its entirety in a
bucket, filling it completely. Then, the bucket is hit various times with a rubber hammer such that the elevation of the top the soil falls
one centimeter into the bucket, exposing the rim of the bucket. Which of the following is true?

Question 6

A bucket of dry sand is divided into two samples with equal mass: Sample A and Sample B. Sample A is prepared to a void ratio of 0.6.
Sample B is prepared to a void ratio of 0.8. Then, 10 grams of water are added to each sample. Which of the following is true?

 Question 9
10 out of 10 points

A sample of 100 grams of dry clay with with specific gravity = 2.70 is brought to the lab. Determine the volume of water needed for the
sample to achieve a water content of 20 percent. Express your answer in cubic centimeters, but only write the number in the answer box
(not the units).

Question 10

A saturated sand has a specific gravity of 2.65, and a water content

of 10%. Determine the void ratio. Express your answer in decimal
form (not as a percentage).
