For a soil sample having void ratio e, porosity n, water content w, degree of saturation \(S_r\), specific gravity of soil \(G\), Unit weight of water\( γ_w\), and saturated unit weight of water\( γ_{sat}\), which of the following expressions stands true?

In a particle size distribution curve, the coefficient of curvature ($C_c$) for a soil having particle size $D_{10}$, $D_{30}$, $D_{60}$ corresponding to percentage finer value (N) 10%, 30%, and 60%, respectively, can be calculated as:

If a soil has a plasticity index value of 10%, then the soil is classified as:

The natural dry density of a soil deposit was found to be $18.0 \, \text{kN/m}^3$. A sample of soil was brought to the laboratory, and the minimum and maximum dry density were found to be $15.0 \, \text{kN/m}^3$ and $20.0 \, \text{kN/m}^3$, respectively. The density index for the soil deposit will be:

A soil sample in its undisturbed state was found to have a volume of 100 cm³ and a mass of 300 g. After oven drying, the mass got reduced to 200 g. What will be the value of the void ratio if the specific gravity of soil is 2.7? Assume the unit weight of water to be 1 g/cm³
