Q224
If the gravimetric moisture content of soil is 15% and the bulk density is 1.4 gram/cubic centimeter, the volumetric moisture content is
A.
19.0%
B.
21.0%
AnswerC.
25.0%
D.
30.0%
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The volumetric moisture content of a soil = Gravimetric moisture content X bulk density of soil.Therefore, volumetric moisture content = 15 × 1.4 = 21%
