The specific weight, also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of a material.
A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C, which is 9.807 kN/m3 or 62.43 lbf/ft3.[1]
The terms specific gravity, and less often specific weight, are also used for relative density. A common symbol for specific weight is γ, the Greek letter Gamma.
Definition[edit]
The specific weight, γ, of a material is defined as the product of its density, ρ{displaystyle rho }, and the standard gravity, g:
- γ=ρg{displaystyle gamma =rho ,g}
The density of the material is defined as mass per unit volume, typically measured in kg/m3. The standard gravity is acceleration due to gravity, usually given in m/s2, and on Earth usually taken as 9.81 m/s2.
Unlike density, specific weight is not a fixed property of a material. It depends on the value of the gravitational acceleration, which varies with location. Pressure may also affect values, depending upon the bulk modulus of the material, but generally, at moderate pressures, has a less significant effect than the other factors. [2]
Applications[edit]
Fluid mechanics[edit]
In fluid mechanics, specific weight represents the force exerted by gravity on a unit volume of a fluid. For this reason, units are expressed as force per unit volume (e.g., N/m3 or lbf/ft3). Specific weight can be used as a characteristic property of a fluid. [2]
Soil mechanics[edit]
Specific weight is often used as a property of soil to solve earthwork problems.
In soil mechanics, specific weight may refer to:
- Moist unit weight, which is the unit weight of a soil when void spaces of the soil contain both water and air.
- γ=(1+w)Gsγw1+e{displaystyle gamma ={frac {(1+w)G_{s}gamma _{w}}{1+e}}}
where
- γ{displaystyle gamma } is the moist unit weight of the material
- γw{displaystyle gamma _{w}} is the unit weight of water
- w is the moisture content of the material
- Gs is the specific gravity of the solid
- e is the void ratio
- Dry unit weight, which is the unit weight of a soil when all void spaces of the soil are completely filled with air, with no water.
The formula for dry unit weight is:
- γd=Gsγw1+e=γ1+w{displaystyle gamma _{d}={frac {G_{s}gamma _{w}}{1+e}}={frac {gamma }{1+w}}}
where
- γ{displaystyle gamma } is the moist unit weight of the material
- γd{displaystyle gamma _{d}} is the dry unit weight of the material
- γw{displaystyle gamma _{w}} is the unit weight of water
- w is the moisture content of the material
- Gs is the specific gravity of the solid
- e is the void ratio
- Saturated unit weight, which is the unit weight of a soil when all void spaces of the soil are completely filled with water, with no air.
The formula for saturated unit weight is:
- γs=(Gs+e)γw1+e{displaystyle gamma _{s}={frac {(G_{s}+e)gamma _{w}}{1+e}}}
where
- γs{displaystyle gamma _{s}} is the saturated unit weight of the material
- γw{displaystyle gamma _{w}} is the unit weight of water
- w is the moisture content of the material
- Gs is the specific gravity of the solid
- e is the void ratio[3]
- Submerged unit weight, which is defined as the difference between the saturated unit weight and the unit weight of water. [4] It is often used in the calculation of the effective stress in a soil.
The formula for submerged unit weight is:
- γ′=γs−γw{displaystyle gamma ^{'}=gamma _{s}-gamma _{w}}
where
- γ′{displaystyle gamma ^{'}} is the submerged unit weight of the material
- γs{displaystyle gamma _{s}} is the saturated unit weight of the material
- γw{displaystyle gamma _{w}} is the unit weight of water
Civil and mechanical engineering[edit]
Specific weight can be used in civil engineering and mechanical engineering to determine the weight of a structure designed to carry certain loads while remaining intact and remaining within limits regarding deformation.
