Water Content of Soil with respect to its Mass Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer = ((Total Mass of Sand/Mass of Solids)-1)
w_s = ((Σf_i/M_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 Mass of Sand - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Mass of Sand is the sum of sand retained in each sieve.
Mass of Solids - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of solids is the actuall weight of the solid particle present in the sewage.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Mass of Sand: 4 Gram --> 0.004 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Mass of Solids: 3.6 Gram --> 0.0036 Kilogram (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w_s = ((Σf_i/M_s)-1) --> ((0.004/0.0036)-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)
