Bulk Unit Weight of Soil given Dry Unit Weight of Soil in Water Content Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bulk unit Weight = Dry Unit Weight of Soil*(1+Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer)
γ = γ_d*(1+w_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Bulk unit Weight - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Bulk unit Weight is the ratio of total weight to total volume.
Dry Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - The Dry Unit Weight of Soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer - Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Unit Weight of Soil: 4.5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 4.5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = γ_d*(1+w_s) --> 4.5*(1+0.61)

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 7.245

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.245 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7.245 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Bulk unit Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)
