Homework Statement
alright so i have to find the density of a clay unit. I am given a specific weight of the clay as 120 b/ft^3, the gravity constant as 32.17 ft/s^2. i need to find the density of the clay, i have no problem arranging the equation below to solve for density but I am not used to working in imperial units and I am not allowed to switch to metric. I've attempted it below and just wondering if i did it correctly
Homework Equations
specific weight= gravity x density
The Attempt at a Solution
density= specific weight/gravity
= 120 lb/ft^3/32.17 ft/s^2
= 3.73 lb/ ft^2 s^2
so are my units correct?
