Water Content of Soil given Total Weight of Sample Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer = ((Total Weight of Soil/Weight of Solids)-1)
w_s = ((W_t/W_s)-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.
Total Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Weight of Soil is the total mass of soil in kg.
Weight of Solids - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Solids is the total amount of solids present in the soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Weight of Soil: 80 Kilogram --> 80 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Weight of Solids: 70.7 Newton --> 70.7 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w_s = ((W_t/W_s)-1) --> ((80/70.7)-1)

Evaluating ... ...

w_s = 0.131541725601132

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.131541725601132 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.131541725601132 ≈ 0.131542 <-- Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
