How do you find porosity of a soil when all you are given is the dry density and the particle density of the soil.. and can you find bulk density with just this info?

Concerning the second Question: "Can you find bulk density with just this info?"Purely on mathematical insight and analysis:Yes, you should be able to find the bulk density of dry soil, given the 'dry overall' and the 'particle' densities.When wet, there is not enough 'given'Also some should be known about the (or your) definition of porosity

How much soil is there in a soil measuring by 1meter by 1 meter by 1 meter?

What is formula for dry density?

Density = mass divided by volume (mass/volume) Example: A block of wood weighs 3.5 kg (or 3,500 grams) It is 9 cm x 4 cm x 55 cm (9 x 4 x 55 = 1,980 cm3) 3500/1980 = 1.768 grams/ cm3


What is the dry density if soil has wet density of 130 lb-cf a specific gravity of solids 2.67 and water content of 19 percent?

You can figure out the dry density by dividing the wet density by (1+moisture content), with the moisture content in decimal form. So 130 / (1 + 0.19) = 109.24.
