Total Weight of Soil
Total weight of soil, abbreviated as \( W_t \), is the total weight of soil plus the total weight of water.
Total Weight of Soil Formula |

|
\( W_t \;=\; W_s + W_w \) (Total Weight of Soil) \( W_s \;=\; W_t - W_w \) \( W_w \;=\; W_t - W_s \) |

| \( W_t \) = Total Weight of Soil | \(lbf\) | \(N\) |
| \( W_s \) = Weight of Soil | \(lbf\) | \(N\) |
| \( W_w \) = Weight of Water | \(lbf\) | \(N\) |
