{{Distinguish|specific gravity}}
The '''specific weight''' (also known as the '''unit weight''') is the [[weight]] per unit [[volume]] of a material.  The symbol of specific weight is '''γ''' (the Greek letter [[Gamma]]).
 
A commonly used value is the specific weight of [[water]] on [[Earth]] at 5°C which is 62.43 [[Pound-force|lbf]]/ft<sup>3</sup> or 9.807 kN/m<sup>3</sup>.

The terms ''[[specific gravity]]'', and less often ''specific weight'', are also used for [[relative density]].
 
==General formula==
 
:<math>\gamma = \rho \, g</math>
where
:<math>\gamma</math> is the specific weight of the material ([[weight]] per unit [[volume]], typically N/m<sup>3</sup> units)
:<math>\rho</math> is the [[density]] of the material ([[mass]] per unit [[volume]], typically kg/m<sup>3</sup>)
:<math>g</math> is [[standard gravity|acceleration due to gravity]] (rate of change of [[velocity]], given in m/s<sup>2</sup>, and on Earth usually given as 9.81 m/s<sup>2</sup>)
 
==Changes of specific weight==
Unlike density, specific weight is not [[wikt:absolute|absolute]].  It depends upon the value of the [[gravitational acceleration]], which varies with location.  A significant influence upon the value of specific gravity is the [[temperature ]] of the material.  [[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. <ref name="fluids" />
 
==Uses==
 
===Fluid mechanics===
 
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., lb/ft<sup>3</sup> or N/m<sup>3</sup>). Specific weight can be used as a characteristic [[List of materials properties|property]] of a fluid. <ref name="fluids" />
 
===Soil mechanics===
 
Specific weight is used as a property of soil often used to solve [[Earthworks (engineering)|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.
 
:<math>\gamma = \frac{(1+w)G_s\gamma_w}{1+e}</math>
where
:<math>\gamma</math> is the moist unit weight of the material
:<math>\gamma_w</math> 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:
:<math>\gamma_d = \frac{G_s\gamma_w}{1+e} = \frac{\gamma}{1+w}</math>
where
:<math>\gamma</math> is the moist unit weight of the material
:<math>\gamma_d</math> is the dry unit weight of the material
:<math>\gamma_w</math> is the unit weight of water
:w is the [[moisture content]] of the material

:e is the [[void ratio]]
 
Typical values of soil dry unit weight can be found on [http://www.geotechdata.info/parameter/soil-dry-unit-weight.html geotechdata.info database].

Template:Distinguish The specific weight (also known as the unit weight) is the weight per unit volume of a material. The symbol of specific weight is γ (the Greek letter Gamma).

A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 5°C which is 62.43 lbf/ft3 or 9.807 kN/m3. [1]

The terms specific gravity, and less often specific weight, are also used for relative density.

General formula

γ=ρg

where

γ is the specific weight of the material (weight per unit volume, typically N/m3 units)
ρ is the density of the material (mass per unit volume, typically kg/m3)
g is acceleration due to gravity (rate of change of velocity, given in m/s2, and on Earth usually given as 9.81 m/s2)

Changes of specific weight

Unlike density, specific weight is not absolute. It depends upon the value of the gravitational acceleration, which varies with location. A significant influence upon the value of specific gravity is the temperature of the material. 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]

Uses

Fluid mechanics

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., lb/ft3 or N/m3). Specific weight can be used as a characteristic property of a fluid. [2]

Soil mechanics

Specific weight is used as a property of soil often used 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

where

γ is the moist unit weight of the material
γw 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

where

γ is the moist unit weight of the material
γd is the dry unit weight of the material
γw 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

Typical values of soil dry unit weight can be found on geotechdata.info database.

  • 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

where

γs is the saturated unit weight of the material
γw 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'=γsγw

where

γ' is the submerged unit weight of the material
γs is the saturated unit weight of the material
γw is the unit weight of water

Mechanical engineering

Specific weight can be used in mechanical engineering to determine the weight of a structure designed to carry certain loads while remaining intact and remaining within limits regarding deformation.
