Find the mass of this wet mixture which will be required to produce by static compaction

Question

A sample of soil is prepared by mixing a quantity of dry soil(specific gravity of particles 2.7) with 10.5% by weight of water. Find the mass of this wet mixture which will be required to produce by static compaction, a cylindrical specimen 150ml diameter by 125ml deep with 5% air voids. Find also the void ratio and then dry density.
