γ_m = C_v*γ_g+(1-C_v)*y_w
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Weight of the Mixture - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of the Mixture refers to the weight per unit volume of a mixture, such as water and suspended sediments or other materials, found in coastal environments.
Concentration of Soil in the Mixture - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Concentration of Soil in the Mixture refers to the proportion of sediment or soil particles within a water-sediment mixture.
Specific Weight of Dry Sand Grains - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Dry Sand Grains refers to the weight per unit volume of the sand particles when they are dry and compacted, excluding any void spaces or water content.
Specific Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Water is the weight per unit volume of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Concentration of Soil in the Mixture: 0.03 Cubic Meter --> 0.03 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Dry Sand Grains: 15 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 15000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Specific Weight of Water: 9.807 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9807 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_m = C_v*γ_g+(1-C_v)*y_w --> 0.03*15000+(1-0.03)*9807

Evaluating ... ...

γ_m = 9962.79

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9962.79 Newton per Cubic Meter -->9.96279 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9.96279 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Specific Weight of the Mixture

What is Suction Dredger?

A Suction Dredger is a stationary dredger normally used for mining sand. The suction pipe of this dredger is inserted into the sand deposit and water jets are used to bring the sand up from the excavation site.

What is the difference between Volumetric and Gravimetric Water Content?

Gravimetric water content is the weight of soil water contained in a unit weight of soil (kg water/kg dry soil). Likewise, volumetric water content is a volume fraction (m3 water/m3 soil).
