STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics: 0.71 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 710 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Depth of Prism: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil: 64 Degree --> 1.11701072127616 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_saturated = ζ_soil/(z*cos((i*pi)/180)*sin((i*pi)/180)) --> 710/(3*cos((1.11701072127616*pi)/180)*sin((1.11701072127616*pi)/180))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_saturated = 12142.6208198275

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12142.6208198275 Newton per Cubic Meter -->12.1426208198275 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

12.1426208198275 ≈ 12.14262 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Saturated Unit Weight of Soil
