Void Ratio (General Formula) - correct answer e = Vv/Vs



Void Ratio (Given n) - correct answer e=n/1-n



Porosity (General Formula) - correct answer n=Vv/Vt



Porosity (Given e) - correct answer n=e/1+e



Degree of Saturation - correct answer S=Vw/Vv



Moisture/Water Content - correct answer w=Ww/Ws or Mw/Ms



Total Weight of Soil Sample - correct answer Wt=Ww+Ws



Volume of Voids - correct answer Vv=Va+Vw



Total Volume of Soil Sample - correct answer Vt=Vv+Vs



Dry Unit Weight (Given Gs&e) - correct answer γd=Gsγw/1+e



Dry Unit Weight (Given γm&w) - correct answer γd=γm/1+w



Moist/Natural Unit Weight (Given Gs,e,w,&S) - correct answer γm=(Gs+Se)γw/1+e

or

γm=(Gs+Gsw)γw/1+e

, Saturated Unit Weight (Given Gs&e) - correct answer γsat=(Gs+e)•γw/1+en
