Submerged Unit Weight of Soil given Porosity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter = Dry Unit Weight-(1-Porosity in Soil Mechanics)*Unit Weight of Water
y_S = γ_dry-(1-η)*γ_water
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter - (Measured in Newton 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.
Dry Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Porosity in Soil Mechanics - Porosity in Soil Mechanics is the ratio of volume of voids to volume of soil.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the weight per unit volume of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Unit Weight: 6.12 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6120 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Porosity in Soil Mechanics: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

y_S = γ_dry-(1-η)*γ_water --> 6120-(1-0.5)*9810

Evaluating ... ...

y_S = 1215

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1215 Newton per Cubic Meter -->1.215 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.215 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter
