Question

    The ratio of weight of unit volume of dry soil including pore spaces to weight of an equal volume of water is:

    A Real specific gravity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Particle density Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Wet bulk density Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Apparent specific gravity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The apparent specific gravity is based upon the volume of the solid material plus the volume of the sealed pores.
