An embankment is constructed with soil by maintaining the degree of saturation as 75% during compaction. The specific gravity of soil is 2.68 and the moisture content is 17% during compaction. Consider the unit weight of water as 10 kN/m$^3$. The dry unit weight (in kN/m$^3$) of the compacted soil is _________________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
