1.	If the coefficients of volume change and compressibility of a soil sample are respectively 6.75 x 10 and 3 x 10, the void ratio of the soil sample, is
Answer» Coeff.compressibility = Coeff.volume change/(1 + e). (1 + e) = Coeff.volume change/Coeff.compressibility. e = (Coeff.volume change/Coeff.compressibility) - 1. e = ((6.75 x 10-2)/(3 x 10-2)) - 1. e = 2.25 - 1. e = 1.25.
