Specific Gravity Given Submerged Unit Weight in Void Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Gravity of Soil Solids = ((Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter*(1+Void Ratio))/Unit Weight of Water)+1
G = ((y_S*(1+e))/γ_water)+1
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Gravity of Soil Solids - Specific Gravity of Soil Solids is defined as the weight of soil solids to weight of equal volume of water.
Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter is the unit weight of a weight of soil as observed under water in a saturated condition of course.
Void Ratio - Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of solids.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter: 5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Void Ratio: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

G = ((y_S*(1+e))/γ_water)+1 --> ((5*(1+1.2))/9.81)+1

Evaluating ... ...

G = 2.12130479102956

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.12130479102956 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.12130479102956 ≈ 2.121305 <-- Specific Gravity of Soil Solids
