STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity: 60 Kilopascal --> 60000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Cohesion of Soil: 5 Kilopascal --> 5000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion: 9 --> No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_s = (q_f-(C_s*N_c))/N_q --> (60000-(5000*9))/2.01

Evaluating ... ...

σ_s = 7462.68656716418

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7462.68656716418 Pascal -->7.46268656716418 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7.46268656716418 ≈ 7.462687 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal

What is Surcharge?

Surcharge is the additional load on the soil which may be created due to any overlying structure or any moving object.Total stress on the surface of the soil is because of the surcharge only. So total stress is equal to the surcharge q. σ = q. No water present above this plane, hence pore water pressure is zero.
