G = (v_s/((g/18)*((D)^2/ν)))+1
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Gravity of Sediment - Specific Gravity of Sediment is the ratio of the density of sediment particles to the density of water.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling Velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Kinematic Viscosity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Kinematic Viscosity is an atmospheric variable defined as the ratio between the dynamic viscosity μ and the density ρ of the fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Diameter: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required
Kinematic Viscosity: 10.2 Stokes --> 0.00102 Square Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

G = (v_s/((g/18)*((D)^2/ν)))+1 --> (1.5/((9.8/18)*((10)^2/0.00102)))+1

Evaluating ... ...

G = 1.00002810204082

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.00002810204082 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.00002810204082 ≈ 1.000028 <-- Specific Gravity of Sediment
