How to Evaluate Relative density given porosity?

Relative density given porosity evaluator uses Relative Density in Soil Mechanics = ((Maximum Porosity-Porosity of Soil)*(1-Minimum Porosity))/((Maximum Porosity-Minimum Porosity)*(1-Porosity of Soil)) to evaluate the Relative Density in Soil Mechanics, The Relative density given porosity formula is defined as specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Relative Density in Soil Mechanics is denoted by RD symbol.
