Specific Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Weight Unit = Weight of Body/Volume
γ_unit = W_body/V
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Weight Unit - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight Unit is the ratio of a body’s weight to its volume.
Weight of Body - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Body is the force acting on the object due to gravity.
Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies or that is enclosed within a container.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Body: 20 Newton --> 20 Newton No Conversion Required
Volume: 63 Cubic Meter --> 63 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_unit = W_body/V --> 20/63

Evaluating ... ...

γ_unit = 0.317460317460317

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.317460317460317 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.317460317460317 ≈ 0.31746 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Specific Weight Unit
