Soil-Water-Air-Relationship

Soil scientist collects unsaturated 200 cm³ sample of soil having weight 220 g. if dried weight of soil is 180 g. n, find water content available in soil.

0.222 0.176 0.133 0.166

Concept:

Water content formula is given by:

w = W_w/W_s

where,

w = Water content

W_w = Weight of water

W_s = Weight of solids

Calculation:

Given data :

Weight of unsaturated sample = 220 g

Weight of dried sample = Weight of solids, W_s = 180 gm

Now, finding the weight of water, W_w

So, W_w = Weight of unsaturated sample - Weight of dried sample

= 220 - 180 = 40 g

So, Water content, w = $\frac{40}{180}$ = 0.222

Note: There is no use of sample volume in finding out water content
