γ = \frac{W}{V}

$gamma = "W" / "V"$

(W) Weight of Soil Sample

$(W) "Weight of Soil Sample"$

(V) Volume of Soil Sample

$(V) "Volume of Soil Sample"$

Notes

The diagram shows the relationships between the component weights and volumes.

The total weight, W, is the sum of the weight of water, $W_{W}$ $W_W$ , and the weight of solids, $W_{S}$ $W_S$ .

The total volume, V, is the volume of air, $W_{A}$ $W_A$ , the volume of water, $W_{W}$ $W_W$ , and the volume of solids, $W_{S}$ $W_S$ .
