Specific Weight or Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Weight Unit = Mass*Acceleration Due To Gravity/Volume
γ_unit = M*g/V_T
This formula uses 4 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.
Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Acceleration Due To Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - The Acceleration Due To Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
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

Mass: 35.45 Kilogram --> 35.45 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Acceleration Due To Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Volume: 63 Cubic Meter --> 63 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_unit = M*g/V_T --> 35.45*9.8/63

Evaluating ... ...

γ_unit = 5.51444444444444

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5.51444444444444 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

5.51444444444444 ≈ 5.514444 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Specific Weight Unit
