Saturated Density of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Saturated Density = Mass of Saturated Soil/Total Volume in Soil Mechanics
ρ_sat = M_sat/V
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Saturated Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Density is the ratio of mass of saturated soil sample to total volume.
Mass of Saturated Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Saturated Soil is the mass of soil in a moist form.
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

Mass of Saturated Soil: 20 Kilogram --> 20 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

ρ_sat = M_sat/V --> 20/8.34

Evaluating ... ...

ρ_sat = 2.39808153477218

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.39808153477218 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.39808153477218 ≈ 2.398082 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Saturated Density
