A dry sand is placed in a container having a volume of 0.0089 cm³. The dry weight of the sample is [0.010+(0.001*A)] grams. Water is carefully added to the container so as not to disturb the condition of the sand. When the container is filled, the combined weight of soil plus water is [0.0100+(0.001*B)+(0.0001*C)] grams. Determine: (Note: if your answer in any of the following is negative, continue solving anyway,) a) Moisture content b) Moist unit weight c) Dry unit weight Let A = 1 B = 6 C = 3
