Cohesion of Soil given Submerged Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cohesion of Soil = Critical Depth/(((sec((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil)))^2)/(Submerged Unit Weight*(tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))-tan((Angle of Internal Friction)))))
C_s = h_c/(((sec((i)))^2)/(γ^'*(tan((i))-tan((φ)))))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
sec - Secant is a trigonometric function that is defined ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine., sec(Angle)

Variables Used

Cohesion of Soil - (Measured in Kilopascal) - Cohesion of Soil is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil.
Critical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - The Critical Depth is defined as the depth of flow where energy is at a minimum for a particular discharge.
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.
Submerged Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Submerged Unit Weight is the unit weight of weight of soil as observed underwater in a saturated condition of course.
Angle of Internal Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction is the angle measured between the normal force and resultant force .

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Critical Depth: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil: 64 Degree --> 1.11701072127616 Radian (Check conversion here)
Submerged Unit Weight: 5.01 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 5.01 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Internal Friction: 46 Degree --> 0.802851455917241 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_s = h_c/(((sec((i)))^2)/(γ^'*(tan((i))-tan((φ))))) --> 1.01/(((sec((1.11701072127616)))^2)/(5.01*(tan((1.11701072127616))-tan((0.802851455917241)))))

Evaluating ... ...

C_s = 0.986761399016824

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

986.761399016824 Pascal -->0.986761399016824 Kilopascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.986761399016824 ≈ 0.986761 Kilopascal <-- Cohesion of Soil
