Dry Unit Weight of Soil given Water Content Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Unit Weight of Soil = Bulk unit Weight/(1+Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer)
γ_d = γ/(1+w_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - The Dry Unit Weight of Soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Bulk unit Weight - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Bulk unit Weight is the ratio of total weight to total volume.
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

Bulk unit Weight: 5 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 5 Kilogram per 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

γ_d = γ/(1+w_s) --> 5/(1+0.61)

Evaluating ... ...

γ_d = 3.1055900621118

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3105.5900621118 Newton per Cubic Meter -->3.1055900621118 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.1055900621118 ≈ 3.10559 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Unit Weight of Soil

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
