Specific weight

The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: γ = W V . {\displaystyle \gamma ={\frac {W}{V}}\ .} Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: γ = ρ g . {\displaystyle…
