the unit weight is in KN/m3 for above and below the groundwater
The soil or sand will have unit weight in (KN/(m^3)) for
above and below the ground water which is in
metric units.
In imperial units, the unit weight is (lbs/(ft^3)).
Because, the weight of a soil or sand is
expressed in terms of force per unit volume.

A new concrete water tank (unit weight= 24 kN/m3) with inner diameter of 13.8 m with 0.1 m wall thickness, and 9.0 m high is proposed for construction to cover the water shortage of government officers’ quarters that located near to an existing 6.0 m high concrete water tank with similar diameter. The existing water tank sits on a concrete foundation of diameter 15.0 m and thickness of 0.6 m which is below the finished surface level. The existing water...

The bed of a lake consists of a deposit of silty sand with a wet unit weight of 19 (kN/m3) and a coefficient of permeability of 103 (m/sec). The depth of water in the lake is 6 m. It is known that water is seeping vertically upwards through the silty sand from an underlying aquifer. a) At what rate, in per square meter of the lake bed, must water flow upwards to cause a quick condition in the silty sand?...
