Earth Thrust Horizontal Component given Sum of Righting Moments Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust = ((Coefficient of Sliding Friction*Total Downward Force on Soil)/1.5)
P_h = ((μ*R_v)/1.5)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - Horizontal Component of Earth Thrust is the force in the horizontal direction.
Coefficient of Sliding Friction - The Coefficient of Sliding Friction is a number that indicates how much sliding friction there is between two object for a given normal force pushing them together.
Total Downward Force on Soil - (Measured in Newton) - Total Downward Force on Soil is the net force on soil in the vertical direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Sliding Friction: 0.6 --> No Conversion Required
Total Downward Force on Soil: 500.1 Newton --> 500.1 Newton No Conversion Required
