Unit Weight of Water given Buoyant Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dry Unit Weight = (Buoyant Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil-1))
γ_dry = (γ_b*(1+e)/(G_s-1))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Buoyant Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Buoyant unit weight is the effective mass per unit volume when the soil is submerged below standing water or below the ground water table.
Void Ratio - Void Ratio is the ratio of the volume of voids to the 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

Buoyant Unit Weight: 6 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 6000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Void Ratio: 1.2 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity of Soil: 2.65 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_dry = (γ_b*(1+e)/(G_s-1)) --> (6000*(1+1.2)/(2.65-1))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_dry = 8000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8000 Newton per Cubic Meter -->8 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

8 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Dry Unit Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

< 6 Unit Weight of Water Calculators

Unit weight of water given Dry unit weight and Percentage of air voids

Go Unit Weight of Water = Dry Unit Weight*(1+Water Content of Soil*Specific Gravity of Soil)/(Specific Gravity of Soil*(1-Percentage of Air Voids))

Unit Weight of Water given Saturated Unit Weight

Go Unit Weight of Water = (Saturated Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/((1+Water Content of Soil)*Specific Gravity of Soil))

Unit Weight of Water given Void Ratio

Go Unit Weight of Water = (Saturated Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil+Void Ratio))

Unit Weight of Water given Buoyant Unit Weight

Go Dry Unit Weight = (Buoyant Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil-1))

Unit Weight of Water given Dry Unit Weight

Go Unit Weight of Water = (Dry Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/Specific Gravity of Soil)

Shrinkage Ratio of Soil

Go Shrinkage Ratio = Dry Unit Weight/Unit Weight of Water

Unit Weight of Water given Buoyant Unit Weight Formula

Dry Unit Weight = (Buoyant Unit Weight*(1+Void Ratio)/(Specific Gravity of Soil-1))
γ_dry = (γ_b*(1+e)/(G_s-1))

What is unit weight of water ?

The specific weight, also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a material. A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C, which is 9.807 kN/m3. The terms specific gravity, and less often specific weight, are also used for relative density.
