Specific Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Weight of Unit = Weight of Body/Volume
γ_Unit = W_body/V_T
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Weight of Unit - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Unit is the ratio of a body’s weight to its volume.
Weight of Body - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Body is the force acting on the object due to gravity.
Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies or that is enclosed within a container.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Body: 20 Newton --> 20 Newton No Conversion Required
Volume: 63 Cubic Meter --> 63 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_Unit = W_body/V_T --> 20/63

Evaluating ... ...

γ_Unit = 0.317460317460317

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.317460317460317 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.317460317460317 ≈ 0.31746 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Specific Weight of Unit

What are the factors affecting Specific Weight of the body?

The specific weight of a substance, often denoted as γ, is influenced by a few key factors:

Material Composition: Different materials have different specific weights due to their atomic and molecular structures. For example, metals typically have higher specific weights compared to gases like air.

Temperature and Pressure: Specific weight can change with variations in temperature and pressure, particularly for gases and liquids where density changes significantly with these factors.

Presence of Dissolved Substances: For liquids, the presence of dissolved solids or gases can alter their specific weight.

Gravitational Field: The specific weight is directly proportional to the gravitational acceleration at the location where it is measured.

How to Calculate Specific Weight?

Specific Weight calculator uses Specific Weight of Unit = Weight of Body/Volume to calculate the Specific Weight of Unit, Specific weight, also known as unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a substance. Specific Weight of Unit is denoted by γ_Unit symbol.

How to calculate Specific Weight using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Weight, enter Weight of Body (W_body) & Volume (V_T) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Weight calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.31746 = 20/63.

FAQ

What is Specific Weight?

Specific weight, also known as unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a substance and is represented as γ_Unit = W_body/V_T or Specific Weight of Unit = Weight of Body/Volume. Weight of Body is the force acting on the object due to gravity & Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies or that is enclosed within a container.

How to calculate Specific Weight?

Specific weight, also known as unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a substance is calculated using Specific Weight of Unit = Weight of Body/Volume. To calculate Specific Weight, you need Weight of Body (W_body) & Volume (V_T). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Weight of Body & Volume and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
