To determine the water content of a soil, pycnometer test is employed. Based an the below given data, calculate the water content of this soil sample in (%).
Weight of moist sample = 255.65 gm
Weight of pycnometer full of water = 3022.10 gm
Weight of pycnometer + weight of fully saturated soil = 3120.40 gm
Specific gravity of soil solids = 2.72.Enter numerical value using the virtual keypad. Round off where necessary.
