From the pycnometer test, specific gravity of soil solid of the soil specimen is found to be `2.65`.Also, the dry unit weight of the soil specimen is found to be `15 (KN)/M^3`. If one cubic meter of the soil specimen weighs `18 (KN)/M^3`, determine the:

1. water content
2. degree of saturation
3. Submerged wnit weight of the soil specimen
