A soil sample has a bulk density of 1.3\,g\,cm\(^{-3}\) and a porosity of 48\%. Assuming a particle density of 2.65\,g\,cm\(^{-3}\), field capacity (by weight) can be estimated as \( \text{FC}= \text{porosity}\times\left(1-\frac{\text{bulk density}}{\text{particle density}}\right) \). Calculate the field capacity as a percentage (to one decimal place).
