    This document details calculations to determine the water content of a soil sample. It provides the masses of an empty container, the container with wet soil, the container with dry soil, and the masses are used to calculate the mass of water and solids. The water content is then calculated by taking the mass of water and dividing by the mass of solids, giving a water content of 13.96% for the sample.
