Depth of Prism given Vertical Stress on Surface of Prism Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Prism = Vertical Stress at a Point in Pascal/(Unit Weight of Soil*cos((Angle of Inclination)))
z = σ_vertical/(γ*cos((I)))
This formula uses 1 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)

Variables Used

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

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vertical Stress at a Point in Pascal: 10 Pascal --> 10 Pascal No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Inclination: 80 Degree --> 1.3962634015952 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

z = σ_vertical/(γ*cos((I))) --> 10/(18*cos((1.3962634015952)))

Evaluating ... ...

z = 3.19931693507501

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.19931693507501 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.19931693507501 ≈ 3.199317 Meter <-- Depth of Prism
