Weight of Dry Soil given Percent Moisture in Sand Cone Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Dry Soil = (100*Weight of Moist Soil)/(Percent Moisture+100)
W_d = (100*W_m)/(M+100)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Weight of Dry Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of dry soil includes the weight of only soil solids.
Weight of Moist Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of moist soil includes the weight of both soil solid and water.
Percent Moisture - Percent Moisture tell us about the moisture content of soil at field.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Moist Soil: 10 Kilogram --> 10 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Percent Moisture: 0.037 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_d = (100*W_m)/(M+100) --> (100*10)/(0.037+100)

Evaluating ... ...

W_d = 9.99630136849366

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.99630136849366 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.99630136849366 ≈ 9.996301 Kilogram <-- Weight of Dry Soil
