Dry Unit Weight given Unit Weight of Solids Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Unit Weight = Unit Weight of Solids*Volume of Solids/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics
γ_dry = γ_soilds*Vs/V
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Unit Weight of Solids - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Solids is the ratio of weight of solids to volume of solids.
Volume of Solids - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Solids is the space captured by the solids in soil.
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume in Soil Mechanics is defined as the total capacity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Weight of Solids: 15 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 15000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Volume of Solids: 5 Cubic Meter --> 5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics: 12.254 Cubic Meter --> 12.254 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_dry = γ_soilds*Vs/V --> 15000*5/12.254

Evaluating ... ...

γ_dry = 6120.45046515424

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6120.45046515424 Newton per Cubic Meter -->6.12045046515424 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6.12045046515424 ≈ 6.12045 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Unit Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
