Volume of Soil given Field Density in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Soil = (Weight of Total Soil/Bulk Density of Soil)
V = (W_t/γ_t)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Soil consists of volume of solid and voids.
Weight of Total Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Total Soil is the total weight of the soil.
Bulk Density of Soil - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Bulk Density of Soil is the ratio of total mass of soil to total volume.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Total Soil: 80 Kilogram --> 80 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Bulk Density of Soil: 12 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 12 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
