a sample of clay is coated with wax and combined mass is 697.5gm. the coated sample is dipped into water and volume of water displaced is 355m3. the mass of soil alone is 690gm. the water content is 18%. Determine bulk unit weight, dry unit weight,void ratio, degree of saturation. take specific gravity of soil is 2.7

Question: what if the area above the water table has a moisture content of say 15% - do we use dry unit weight or total unit weight in our calculation?
