You take a soil sample from your field, weigh it moist, oven-dry it, and weigh it dry. If the initial weight is 77 g and the final weight is 62 g, what is the gravimetric water content? If you know from previous soil sampling that the bulk density is 1.25 g cm-3, what is the volumetric water content? Make sure to show your work for full credit!
