Horizontal Force given Direction of Resultant Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Horizontal Pressure = Vertical Pressure/tan(Theta)
dH = dv/tan(θ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)

Variables Used

Horizontal Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - horizontal pressure is the pressure applied in the horizontal direction due to backfill is called the horizontal pressure.
Vertical Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Vertical Pressure is the pressure applied in the vertical direction due to self weight of a member is called the vertical pressure.
Theta - (Measured in Radian) - Theta is an angle that can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vertical Pressure: 5 Newton per Square Meter --> 5 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Theta: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

dH = dv/tan(θ) --> 5/tan(0.5235987755982)

Evaluating ... ...

dH = 8.66025403784439

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.66025403784439 Pascal -->8.66025403784439 Newton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

8.66025403784439 ≈ 8.660254 Newton per Square Meter <-- Horizontal Pressure

(Calculation completed in 00.017 seconds)
