1.1.A cylindrical soil core had a height of 40 mm and a diameter of 90 mm. The wet mass of the soil was 600 g. After oven drying the soil mass was 500 g. Given that the density of water = 1000 kg m-3 and soil particle density = 2 650 kg m-3. Calculate the following: i. Mass wetness [2]

ii. Porosity [2]

iii. Volume wetness [2]

iv. Void ratio [2]

v. Degree of saturation [2]

2.Comment on the suitability of the soil in 4b above for plant growth. [5]
