Length of Arc of Slice Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Arc = Total Normal Force/Normal Stress in Pascal
l = P/σ_normal
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Arc - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Arc of the slice taken into consideration.
Total Normal Force - (Measured in Newton) - Total normal force acting at the base of the slice.
Normal Stress in Pascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Normal Stress in Pascal is defined as the stress produced by the perpendicular action of a force on a given area.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Normal Force: 150 Newton --> 150 Newton No Conversion Required
Normal Stress in Pascal: 15.71 Pascal --> 15.71 Pascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l = P/σ_normal --> 150/15.71

Evaluating ... ...

l = 9.54805856142584

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.54805856142584 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.54805856142584 ≈ 9.548059 Meter <-- Length of Arc
