Variables Used

Factor of Safety - Factor of Safety is a measure of the load-carrying capacity of a structure or material compared to the actual load or stress that is applied to it.
Submerged Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Submerged Unit Weight is the effective weight of the soil per unit volume when it is submerged in water.
Effective Angle of Internal Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Effective Angle of Internal Friction is the shear strength of soil due to the friction between soil particles when subjected to effective stress.
Weighted Friction Angle for Internal Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Weighted Friction Angle for Internal Friction is an effective measure combining materials' friction properties and their relative contributions in geotechnical engineering for stability analysis.
Saturated Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Saturated Unit Weight is the value of the unit weight of the soil when the soil is completely saturated with water that is all the soil pores are completely filled with water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Submerged Unit Weight: 31 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 31 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Effective Angle of Internal Friction: 9.99 Degree --> 0.174358392274201 Radian (Check conversion here)
Weighted Friction Angle for Internal Friction: 11 Degree --> 0.19198621771934 Radian (Check conversion here)
Saturated Unit Weight: 9.98 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 9.98 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f_s = (γ^'*φ')/(φ_IF*γ_sat) --> (31*0.174358392274201)/(0.19198621771934*9.98)
