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

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Percent Moisture from Sand Cone Test: 150 --> No Conversion Required
Weight of Dry Soil: 5 Kilogram --> 5 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_m = ((M_sc*W_d/100)+W_d) --> ((150*5/100)+5)

Evaluating ... ...

W_m = 12.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.5 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.5 Kilogram <-- Weight of Moist Soil

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
