Total Weight of Soil given Water Content given Total Volume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Weight of Soil = Dry Unit Weight of Soil*Total Volume of Soil*(1+Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer)
W_t = γ_d*V*(1+w_s)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Total Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Weight of Soil is the total mass of soil in kg.
Dry Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - The Dry Unit Weight of Soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Total Volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Soil is the entire space occupied by soil, including both solid particles and pore spaces within a given area or sample.
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer - Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Unit Weight of Soil: 4.5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 4.5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Total Volume of Soil: 15.7 Cubic Meter --> 15.7 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_t = γ_d*V*(1+w_s) --> 4.5*15.7*(1+0.61)

Evaluating ... ...

W_t = 113.7465

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

113.7465 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

113.7465 Kilogram <-- Total Weight of Soil

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
