Bulk Density of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bulk Density of Soil = Total Weight of Soil/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics
γ_t = W_t/V
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Bulk Density of Soil - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Bulk Density of Soil is the ratio of total mass of soil to total volume.
Total Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Weight of Soil is the total mass of soil in kg.
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume in Soil Mechanics is defined as the total capacity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Weight of Soil: 80 Kilogram --> 80 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Total Volume in Soil Mechanics: 8.34 Cubic Meter --> 8.34 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_t = W_t/V --> 80/8.34

Evaluating ... ...

γ_t = 9.59232613908873

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.59232613908873 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.59232613908873 ≈ 9.592326 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Bulk Density of Soil
