Weight-Volume Relationships: Saturated Unit Weight
Students read how to determine and calculate the saturated unit weight for a given sample of soil or aggregate, based on the weight-volume relationship. Practice problems complete the activity.
The target audience of this learning object is trigonometry students who have already learned what a radian is and have already derived the key values of the coordinates associated with common radian units, but now need to practice finding those values on the unit circle. The student does not need to know the definition of the six trig functions to do this activity.
