What will the volume of the sample be at the water content

Reference no: EM13326311

A saturated 100 cm^3 clay sample has a natural water content of30%. It's found that the shrinkage limit occurs when the water content is 19%. If the specific gravity of soil solids is 2.7, what will the volume of the sample be when the water content is 15%?
