Porosity Given Saturated Unit Weight in Porosity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Porosity of Soil = (Saturated Unit Weight-(Specific Gravity of Soil Solids*Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics))/Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics*(1-Specific Gravity of Soil Solids)
η = (γsat-(G*γw))/γw*(1-G)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Porosity of Soil - Porosity of Soill is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of soil.
Saturated Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight is the value of the unit weight of the soil when the soil is completely saturated with water that is all the soil pores are completely filled with water.
Specific Gravity of Soil Solids - Specific Gravity of Soil Solids is defined as the weight of soil solids to weight of equal volume of water.
Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics is the weight per unit volume of water.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Saturated Unit Weight: 9.98 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 9.98 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity of Soil Solids: 2.64 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water in Soil Mechanics: 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
η = (γsat-(G*γw))/γw*(1-G) --> (9.98-(2.64*9810))/9810*(1-2.64)
Evaluating ... ...
η = 4.32793158002039
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
4.32793158002039 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
4.32793158002039 4.327932 <-- Porosity of Soil
