Unit Weight of Water Given Specific Gravity of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Water = Unit Weight of Solids/Specific Gravity of Soil
γ_water = γ_s/G_s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is mass per unit of water.
Unit Weight of Solids - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Solids is the ratio of weight of solids to volume of solids.
Specific Gravity of Soil - Specific Gravity of Soil is an important property of soil being related to density.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Weight of Solids: 15 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 15000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_water = γ_s/G_s --> 15000/2.65

Evaluating ... ...

γ_water = 5660.37735849057

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5660.37735849057 Newton per Cubic Meter -->5.66037735849057 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

5.66037735849057 ≈ 5.660377 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Water
