Degree of Saturation of Soil Sample Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Degree of Saturation = (Volume of Water/Void Space Volume)
S = (Vw/Vv)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Degree of Saturation - Degree of Saturation is the ratio of the volume of water to the volume of voids.
Volume of Water - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of water is the space that water takes in a container.
Void Space Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Void Space Volume is the void space volume between the particles containing water and/or air.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Water: 2 Cubic Meter --> 2 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Void Space Volume: 3 Cubic Meter --> 3 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (Vw/Vv) --> (2/3)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.666666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.666666666666667 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.666666666666667 ≈ 0.666667 <-- Degree of Saturation
