Dry Unit Weight of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Density = Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics
ρ_d = W_s/V
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Dry Density is defined as the mass of soil particles per unit volume of soil when the soil is completely dry.
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.
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

Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics: 0.602 Kilogram --> 0.602 Kilogram 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

ρ_d = W_s/V --> 0.602/12.254

Evaluating ... ...

ρ_d = 0.049126815733638

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.049126815733638 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.049126815733638 ≈ 0.049127 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Density
