Specific Retention (in %) tells how much water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity. Check FAQs

%S r = (\frac{V r}{V t}) \cdot 100

%S_r - Specific Retention?V_r - Volume of water Retained?V_t - Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample?

Specific Retention Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Specific Retention?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

%S r = (\frac{V r}{V t}) \cdot 100

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

%S r = (\frac{5m³}{50m³}) \cdot 100

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

%S r = (\frac{5}{50}) \cdot 100

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

%S r = 10

Other formulas in Specific Retention category

Go Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample given Specific Retention

V t = (\frac{V r}{%S r}) \cdot 100

Go Volume of Water Retained in Total Volume Soil or Rock Sample

V r = \frac{V t \cdot %S r}{100}

How to Evaluate Specific Retention?

Specific Retention evaluator uses Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100 to evaluate the Specific Retention, The Specific Retention is defines how water remains in the rock after it is drained by gravity. It is usually expressed as a percentage. Specific Retention is denoted by %S_r symbol.

How to evaluate Specific Retention using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Specific Retention, enter Volume of water Retained (V_r) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Specific Retention

What is the formula to find Specific Retention?

The formula of Specific Retention is expressed as Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100. Here is an example- 10 = (5/50)*100.

How to calculate Specific Retention?

With Volume of water Retained (V_r) & Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (V_t) we can find Specific Retention using the formula - Specific Retention = (Volume of water Retained/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample)*100.
