Weight of Solids given Water Content in Total Weight of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Solids = Total Weight of Soil/(1+Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer)
W_s = W_t/(1+w_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Weight of Solids - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Solids is the total amount of solids present in the soil.
Total Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Weight of Soil is the total mass of soil in kg.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Weight of Soil: 80 Kilogram --> 80 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_s = W_t/(1+w_s) --> 80/(1+0.61)

Evaluating ... ...

W_s = 49.6894409937888
