STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics: 0.71 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 710 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Saturated Unit Weight of Soil: 11.89 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 11890 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil: 64 Degree --> 1.11701072127616 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

z = ζ_soil/(γ_saturated*cos((i*pi)/180)*sin((i*pi)/180)) --> 710/(11890*cos((1.11701072127616*pi)/180)*sin((1.11701072127616*pi)/180))

Evaluating ... ...

What is shear stress ?

Shear stress, often denoted by τ (Greek: tau), is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section. It arises from the shear force, the component of force vector parallel to the material cross section. Normal stress, on the other hand.
