Weight of Dry Soil given Percent Moisture in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Dry Soil = (100*Weight of Moist Soil)/(Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test+100)
W_d = (100*W_m)/(M_sc+100)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Weight of Dry Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Dry Soil is the mass of soil after all moisture content has been removed. The weight of dry soil is crucial in calculating various engineering properties such as shear strength etc.
Weight of Moist Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Moist Soil is the weight of soil that contains some amount of water, but not saturated with water. It also impacts other engineering properties such as shear strength, permeability etc.
Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test - Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test is a measure of the amount of water present in a soil sample, expressed as a percentage of the dry weight of the soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Moist Soil: 10 Kilogram --> 10 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test: 150 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_d = (100*W_m)/(M_sc+100) --> (100*10)/(150+100)

Evaluating ... ...

W_d = 4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4 Kilogram <-- Weight of Dry Soil

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
