Specific Gravity of Material given its Absolute Volume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Gravity of Material = Weight of Material/(Absolute Volume*Water Density)
SG = W_L/(V_a*ρ_water)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Gravity of Material - Specific Gravity of Material is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of the density of the material to the density of water at a specified temperature.
Weight of Material - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Material is the total weight of of the four components—cements, gravel, sand, and water used in a batch.
Absolute Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Absolute Volume is the total volume required for the four components - cements, gravel, sand, and water.
Water Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Water Density is the mass of water per unit volume; it typically equals 1 g/cm³ at 4°C and varies with temperature and salinity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Material: 900 Kilogram --> 900 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Absolute Volume: 0.375 Cubic Meter --> 0.375 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Water Density: 1000.001 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000.001 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SG = W_L/(V_a*ρ_water) --> 900/(0.375*1000.001)

Evaluating ... ...

SG = 2.3999976000024

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.3999976000024 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.3999976000024 ≈ 2.399998 <-- Specific Gravity of Material
