For two soils subjected to “no,” “moderate,” or “severe” compaction, Figure 8 shows the volume fraction (cm3 cm-3) of pores in three size classes. The symbol b indicates the volume fraction of water, (cm3 cm-3 u ), in each soil. The figure indicates that for the uncompacted clay loam (bulk density = 0.75 g cm-3). Show a complete calculation (with all units) to demonstrate that b in the figure correctly indicates that for the severely compacted sandy loam (bulk density = 1.10 g/cm3).
