Dry Mass given Water Content with respect to Mass of Water Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics = Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*100/Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer
W_s = W_w*100/w_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics means the actual weight of the solid particle present in the soil.
Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics is the total mass of water in soil.
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

Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics: 0.05 Kilogram --> 0.05 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer: 8.3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_s = W_w*100/w_s --> 0.05*100/8.3

Evaluating ... ...

W_s = 0.602409638554217

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.602409638554217 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.602409638554217 ≈ 0.60241 Kilogram <-- Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics
