Specific Retention given Total Volume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Retention Percentage = (Volume of Water retained/Total Volume)*100
%S_r = (W_r/V)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Retention Percentage - Specific Retention Percentage (in %) tells how much water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity.
Volume of Water retained - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of water retained is the capacity of water that is retained.
Total Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume is defined as the total capacity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Water retained: 2 Cubic Meter --> 2 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Total Volume: 20 Cubic Meter --> 20 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

%S_r = (W_r/V)*100 --> (2/20)*100

Evaluating ... ...

%S_r = 10

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10 <-- Specific Retention Percentage

Volume Percent of Porosity Specific Yield and Specific Retention

Go Volume Percent of Porosity = Specific Yield Percentage+Specific Retention Percentage

Specific Retention given Porosity

Go Specific Retention Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Yield Percentage

Specific Yield given Porosity

Go Specific Yield Percentage = Volume Percent of Porosity-Specific Retention Percentage

Volume of Water Drained by Gravity given Specific Yield

Go Volume of water drained by gravity = (Specific Yield Percentage*Total Volume)/100

Specific Yield given Total Volume

Go Specific Yield Percentage = (Volume of water drained by gravity/Total Volume)*100

Total Volume given Specific Yield

Go Total Volume = (Volume of water drained by gravity/Specific Yield Percentage)*100

Volume of Water Retained given Specific Retention

Go Volume of Water retained = (Total Volume*Specific Retention Percentage)/100

Specific Retention given Total Volume

Go Specific Retention Percentage = (Volume of Water retained/Total Volume)*100

Total Volume given Specific Retention

Go Total Volume = (Volume of Water retained/Specific Retention Percentage)*100

Specific Retention given Total Volume Formula

Specific Retention Percentage = (Volume of Water retained/Total Volume)*100
%S_r = (W_r/V)*100

What is Specific Retention?

The ratio of the volume of water that a given body of rock or soil will hold against the pull of gravity to the volume of the body itself. It is usually expressed as a percentage.

How to Calculate Specific Retention given Total Volume?

Specific Retention given Total Volume calculator uses Specific Retention Percentage = (Volume of Water retained/Total Volume)*100 to calculate the Specific Retention Percentage, The Specific Retention given Total Volume is defined as ratio of volume of water that given body of rock or soil will hold against pull of gravity to volume of body itself. Specific Retention Percentage is denoted by %S_r symbol.

How to calculate Specific Retention given Total Volume using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Retention given Total Volume, enter Volume of Water retained (W_r) & Total Volume (V) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Retention given Total Volume calculation can be explained with given input values -> 10 = (2/20)*100.

FAQ
