STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity: 60 Kilopascal --> 60000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Footing: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion: 9 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_s = (q_f-((γ*D)*N_q))/N_c --> (60000-((18000*1.01)*2.01))/9

Evaluating ... ...

C_s = 2606.46666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2606.46666666667 Pascal -->2.60646666666667 Kilopascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.60646666666667 ≈ 2.606467 Kilopascal <-- Cohesion of Soil

What is Cohesion?

Cohesion is the stress (act) of sticking together. Yet, in engineering mechanics, particularly in soil mechanics, cohesion refers to shear strength under zero normal stress, or the intercept of a material's failure envelope with shear stress axis in the shear stress-normal stress space.
