Dry Unit Weight of Soil given Water Content in Total Volume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Density = Total Weight of Soil/(Total Volume of Soil*(1+Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer))
ρ_d = W_t/(V*(1+w_s))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density is the ratio of mass of dry soil to its volume.
Total Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Weight of Soil is the total mass of soil in kg.
Total Volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Soil is the entire space occupied by soil, including both solid particles and pore spaces within a given area or sample.
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

Total Weight of Soil: 80 Kilogram --> 80 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Total Volume of Soil: 15.7 Cubic Meter --> 15.7 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

ρ_d = W_t/(V*(1+w_s)) --> 80/(15.7*(1+0.61))

Evaluating ... ...

ρ_d = 3.16493254737508

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.16493254737508 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.16493254737508 ≈ 3.164933 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Density
