Example:- Porosity (n) = 0.7, degree of saturation = 40= 0.4

vol. of soil = 100$m^3$

To find:- Vol. of air.

Porosity $\eta = \dfrac{V_v}{V}$

$0.7\times100 = V_v$

$V_v = 70$

$a_c = ?$

$a_c+s = 1$

$a_c = 1-0.4$ $= 0.6$

enter image description here

Example A 588$cm^3$ vol of moist sand weights …
