Dry Unit Weight Given Water Content at Full Saturation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Dry Unit Weight = Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water/(1+Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer*Specific Gravity of Soil)
γdry = Gs*γwater/(1+ws*Gs)
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.
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer - Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
γdry = Gswater/(1+ws*Gs) --> 2.65*9810/(1+0.61*2.65)
Evaluating ... ...
γdry = 9935.60099369387
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
9935.60099369387 Newton per Cubic Meter -->9.93560099369387 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
9.93560099369387 9.935601 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Unit Weight
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
