Angle of Inclination given Vertical Stress and Saturated Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil = acos(Vertical Stress at Point/(Unit Weight of Soil*Depth of Prism))
i = acos(σ_z/(γ*z))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
acos - The inverse cosine function, is the inverse function of the cosine function. It is the function that takes a ratio as an input and returns the angle whose cosine is equal to that ratio., acos(Number)

Variables Used

Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil is defined as the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.
Vertical Stress at Point - (Measured in Pascal) - Vertical Stress at Point is the stress acting perpendicular to the surface.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Depth of Prism - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Prism is the length of prism along z direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vertical Stress at Point: 1.2 Pascal --> 1.2 Pascal No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Prism: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

i = acos(σ_z/(γ*z)) --> acos(1.2/(18000*3))

Evaluating ... ...

i = 1.57077410457267
