Water Content given Dry Unit Weight of Soil in Water Content Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer = (Bulk unit Weight/Dry Unit Weight of Soil)-1
w_s = (γ/γ_d)-1
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Bulk unit Weight - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Bulk unit Weight is the ratio of total weight to total volume.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bulk unit Weight: 5 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 5 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Dry Unit Weight of Soil: 4.5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 4.5 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w_s = (γ/γ_d)-1 --> (5/4.5)-1

Evaluating ... ...

w_s = 0.111111111111111

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.111111111111111 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.111111111111111 ≈ 0.111111 <-- Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
