A soil sample plus its cylinder weighed {sd} g dry. The cylinder holding the soil has a diameter of {d} cm, a height of {h} cm and a weight of {cy} g. Assume particle density is 2.65g/cm3. Calculate the bulk density of this soil, showing the correct units. Round your answer to the nearest 0.01 (2 decimal places). Show all of your work, including units, by uploading an attachment. When typing out cubic centimeters, use the format cm^3.
