If a soil has a saturated unit weight of 24.5 kN/m3, then its submerged unit weight will be ______
a) 15.69
b) 14.69
c) 9.81
d) 20.61
Answer: b
Explanation: Given,
Saturated unit weight γsat = 24.5 kN/m3
Submerged unit weight γ’= γsat – γw
Unit weight of water γw = 9.8 kN/m3
Submerged unit weight γ’=24.5-9.81
γ’=14.69 kN/m3.
