1. A saturated soil sample collected from a highway compaction site has a moist mass of \( 35.4 \) lbs. The 18 in long sampler used to collect the sample has a diameter of 6 in. After the entire sample was placed in the oven for 24 hours, the dry mass was \( 32.2 \mathrm{lbs} \). If the specific gravity of the sample is \( 2.7 \), please determine the following parameters: a) Saturated unit weight b) Dry unit weight c) Effective unit weight d) Void ratio e) Moisture content f) Porosity g) If the moisture content of the soil was equal to \( 5 \% \), complete the phase diagram.
