Weight of Sand Filling Hole in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Total Soil = (Volume of Soil*Density of Sand)
W_t = (V*ρ)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Weight of Total Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Total Soil is the total weight of soil present in a given volume of earth. It helps to determine the current density of the soil after compaction efforts.
Volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Soil is the amount of space occupied by soil particles, voids, and air within a given volume of soil mass.
Density of Sand - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Sand is ratio of mass of sand to its volume. Sand density is a key parameter in classifying soil types, which aids in selecting appropriate construction methods and materials.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Soil: 20 Cubic Meter --> 20 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Density of Sand: 4.67 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 4.67 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_t = (V*ρ) --> (20*4.67)

Evaluating ... ...

W_t = 93.4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

93.4 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

93.4 Kilogram <-- Weight of Total Soil
