Dry Unit Weight Given Submerged Unit Weight of Soil and Porosity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Unit Weight = Submerged Weight of Soil+(1-Porosity in Soil Mechanics)*Unit Weight of Water
γ_dry = W_su+(1-η)*γ_water
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Dry Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Dry Unit Weight of soil is the weight of soil solids per unit of total volume of soil mass.
Submerged Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton) - Submerged Weight of Soil is the mass of soil in partial submerged condition.
Porosity in Soil Mechanics - Porosity in Soil Mechanics is the ratio of volume of voids to volume of soil.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Submerged Weight of Soil: 11.8 Kilonewton --> 11800 Newton (Check conversion here)
Porosity in Soil Mechanics: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_dry = W_su+(1-η)*γ_water --> 11800+(1-0.5)*9810

Evaluating ... ...

γ_dry = 16705

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

16705 Newton per Cubic Meter -->16.705 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

16.705 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Unit Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
