It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. However, I can still walk you through the steps of solving the problem in detail. Let me know if you'd like me to provide that explanation here!

In the meantime, feel free to ask any follow-up questions or upload a file for further assistance.

Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:
1. How does the gravimetric water content affect the specific heat capacity of the soil?
2. What would happen to the specific heat capacity if the water content were increased to 30%?
3. How does the specific heat capacity of soil compare to other common materials like wood or metal?
4. What is the significance of the specific heat capacity in real-world soil applications?
5. How does the dry soil's specific heat (0.2 cal/g) compare to that of water?

**Tip:** The specific heat capacity of a material helps determine how quickly or slowly it will change temperature when exposed to heat.
