Unit Weight of Water Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Water = Saturated Unit Weight of Soil-Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter
γ_water = γ_saturated-y_S
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the weight per unit volume of water.
Saturated Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight of Soil is defined as the weight per unit volume of soil when it is fully saturated with water.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Saturated Unit Weight of Soil: 11.89 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 11890 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Submerged Unit Weight in KN per Cubic Meter: 0.96 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 960 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_water = γ_saturated-y_S --> 11890-960

Evaluating ... ...

γ_water = 10930

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10930 Newton per Cubic Meter -->10.93 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

10.93 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Water

(Calculation completed in 00.027 seconds)

Dry Density of Soil

LaTeX Go Dry Density = Weight of Solids in Soil Mechanics/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics

Total Volume of Soil given Bulk Density of Soil

LaTeX Go Total Volume in Soil Mechanics = Total Weight of Soil/Bulk Density of Soil

Total Mass of Soil given Bulk Density of Soil

LaTeX Go Total Weight of Soil = Bulk Density of Soil*Total Volume in Soil Mechanics

Bulk Density of Soil

LaTeX Go Bulk Density of Soil = Total Weight of Soil/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics
