`Y_s = W_s / V_s `

Enter a value for all fields

This is an equation used to find the unit weight of soils

The equation is expressed as `Y_s`=`W_s/V_s`

where

• `Y_s` is the unit weight of soil
• `W_s` is the weight of solids
• `V_s` is the volume of soil solids

Unit weight of a soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
