Determine the specific yield in soil

Reference no: EM13718908

Calculate the correct answer of the following problem

Problem- A soil sample is characterized by a volume of 100ml and a weight of 192g. After drying the sample in an oven at 105 degrees C for a day, the weight was reduced to 182g. The soil was then completely saturated with water resulting in a weight of 212g. Finally, the sample was drained and the weight was determined as 187g. The density of water is 1g/ml.

Part 1- What is the specific yield (as percentage)?

I need help to determine the specific yield in soil.
