Specific Gravity Given Dry Unit Weight and Water Content at Full Saturation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Gravity of Soil = Dry Unit Weight/(Unit Weight of Water-(Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Dry Unit Weight))
G_s = γ_dry/(γ_water-(w_s*γ_dry))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.
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 Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.
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

Dry Unit Weight: 6.12 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6120 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

G_s = γ_dry/(γ_water-(w_s*γ_dry)) --> 6120/(9810-(0.61*6120))

Evaluating ... ...

G_s = 1.00710900473934

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.00710900473934 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.00710900473934 ≈ 1.007109 <-- Specific Gravity of Soil
