Weight of Water Retained in Unit Area of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Unit Weight of Water = (The Dry Unit Weight of Soil)*(Depth of Root Zone in Meters)*(The Field Capacity of Water)
Γw = (Γd)*(dw)*(F)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight per unit volume of a material.
The Dry Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - The Dry unit weight of soil when the dry weight is reckoned with reference to the total original volume V, it is called the dry unit weight.
Depth of Root Zone in Meters - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of root zone in meters is the depth within the soil profile that commodity crop (cc) roots can effectively extract water and nutrients for growth.
The Field Capacity of Water - The field capacity of water remaining in a soil after it has been thoroughly saturated and allowed to drain freely, usually for one to two days.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
The Dry Unit Weight of Soil: 13.73 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 13.73 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Root Zone in Meters: 0.3 Meter --> 0.3 Meter No Conversion Required
The Field Capacity of Water: 0.3572 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Γw = (Γd)*(dw)*(F) --> (13.73)*(0.3)*(0.3572)
Evaluating ... ...
Γw = 1.4713068
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
1471.3068 Newton per Cubic Meter -->1.4713068 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion ​here)
FINAL ANSWER
1.4713068 1.471307 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Water
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
