A new client named Elon Musk is interested in transporting some soil to Mars with his new Falcon Heavy rocket to set up a vegetable growth experiment. As part of the schematics he needs you to calculate some of the physical properties of the soil his team has selected. Elon has collected the following data for you based on a subsample of the soil:
The subsample is 95 cm3 in total volume. When it is oven dry the sample weighs 143g. After completely saturating the sample with water it weighs 190g. After allowing the sample to drain overnight it weighed 170g. Adding the oven dry sample causes the water level in a graduated cylinder to rise 45mL. (Show all work/units for full credit!)
A. After arriving on Mars, how many kilograms of water would need to be added to 1.5 cubic meters of oven dry soil to bring the moisture content up to field capacity in order to start the vegetable experiment?
B. After arriving on Mars, how many liters of water would need to be added to 1.5 cubic meters of oven dry soil to bring the moisture content up to field capacity in order to start the vegetable experiment?
