Water Content given Total Weight of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer = Weight of Soil/Weight of Solids-1
ws = W/Ws-1
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer - Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil.
Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Soil used in compaction test.
Weight of Solids - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Solids is the total amount of solids present in the soil.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Weight of Soil: 120 Newton --> 120 Newton No Conversion Required
Weight of Solids: 70.7 Newton --> 70.7 Newton No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
ws = W/Ws-1 --> 120/70.7-1
Evaluating ... ...
ws = 0.697312588401697
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.697312588401697 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.697312588401697 0.697313 <-- Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer
