Correct option is B
Moisture Equivalent is an important parameter in soil mechanics and agriculture, used to estimate the water-holding capacity of soils under certain conditions. It is the amount of water a soil can retain against gravity after being saturated and subjected to a centrifugal force.
According to studies and standard correlations:
· The
Moisture Equivalent is approximately
2.7 times the Hygroscopic Coefficient.
· The
Hygroscopic Coefficient represents the water content held by soil particles in the form of a thin film around them, even under very dry conditions.
