This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.
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.
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
Dry Unit Weight: 6.12 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6120 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
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
Gs = γdry/(γwater-(wsdry)) --> 6120/(9810-(0.61*6120))
Evaluating ... ...
