Dry Unit Weight of Soil given Relative Density Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Unit Weight = ((Minimum Unit Weight*Maximum Unit Weight)/(Maximum Unit Weight-Relative Density in Soil Mechanics*(Maximum Unit Weight-Minimum Unit Weight)))
γ_dry = ((γ_min*γ_max)/(γ_max-R_D*(γ_max-γ_min)))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Unit Weight - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Minimum Unit Weight - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Minimum Unit Weight of soil is ratio of weight of soil to maximum volume of soil.
Maximum Unit Weight - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Maximum Unit Weight of soil is ratio of weight of soil to minimum volume of soil.
Relative Density in Soil Mechanics - Relative Density in Soil Mechanics is density of an object in terms of the density of another reference object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Unit Weight: 5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Maximum Unit Weight: 10 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 10 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Relative Density in Soil Mechanics: 0.67 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_dry = ((γ_min*γ_max)/(γ_max-R_D*(γ_max-γ_min))) --> ((5*10)/(10-0.67*(10-5)))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_dry = 7.5187969924812

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7518.7969924812 Newton per Cubic Meter -->7.5187969924812 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7.5187969924812 ≈ 7.518797 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Unit Weight
