Volume of Solids given Porosity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Solids = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample*(1-Porosity of soil))
V_s = (V_t*(1-η))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Solids - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Solids in the Samples is the measure of how much space an object takes up.
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.
Porosity of soil - Porosity of soil is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample: 50 Cubic Meter --> 50 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Porosity of soil: 0.32 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_s = (V_t*(1-η)) --> (50*(1-0.32))

Evaluating ... ...

V_s = 34

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

34 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

34 Cubic Meter <-- Volume of Solids

Porosity

Go Porosity of soil = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample-Volume of Solids)/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample

Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample given Porosity

Go Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample = (Volume of voids/Volume Percent of Porosity)*100

Volume of Solids given Porosity

Go Volume of Solids = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample*(1-Porosity of soil))

Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity

Go Porosity of soil = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Bulk Pore Velocity

Porosity given Specific Yield and Specific Retention

Go Porosity of soil = Specific Yield+Specific Retention

Volume of Solids given Porosity Formula

Volume of Solids = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample*(1-Porosity of soil))
V_s = (V_t*(1-η))

What is porosity?

The ratio of openings (voids) to the total volume of a soil or rock is referred to as its porosity. Porosity is expressed either as a decimal fraction or as a percentage.

How to Calculate Volume of Solids given Porosity?

Volume of Solids given Porosity calculator uses Volume of Solids = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample*(1-Porosity of soil)) to calculate the Volume of Solids, Volume of solids given porosity is defined by the parameters of the total volume of a soil or rock sample and porosity. Volume of Solids is denoted by V_s symbol.

How to calculate Volume of Solids given Porosity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Volume of Solids given Porosity, enter Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t) & Porosity of soil (η) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Volume of Solids given Porosity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 34 = (50*(1-0.32)).

FAQ

What is Volume of Solids given Porosity?

Volume of solids given porosity is defined by the parameters of the total volume of a soil or rock sample and porosity and is represented as V_s = (V_t*(1-η)) or Volume of Solids = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample*(1-Porosity of soil)).
