Given: G = 2.60, e = 0.78.
Water content, w = (e*S)/G.
w = (0.78*1)/2.60; S = 1 (fully saturate).
w = 0.3.
i.e, 30%.
Water content, w = (e*S)/G.
w = (0.78*1)/2.60; S = 1 (fully saturate).
w = 0.3.
i.e, 30%.

Given:
G=2.6 ,e=0.78.
For fully saturated soil (S=1).
So, w=w saturation.
W=e/G.
=0.78/2.6,
=0.3,
In percentage 0.3*100.
=30%.
G=2.6 ,e=0.78.
For fully saturated soil (S=1).
So, w=w saturation.
W=e/G.
=0.78/2.6,
=0.3,
In percentage 0.3*100.
=30%.
