STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Prism in Soil Mechanics: 0.62 Kilonewton --> 620 Newton (Check conversion here)
Depth of Prism: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Inclined Length of Prism: 0.019 Meter --> 0.019 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 = W_prism/(z*b*cos((i*pi)/180)) --> 620/(3*0.019*cos((1.11701072127616*pi)/180))

Evaluating ... ...

γ_saturated = 10879.2603849631

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10879.2603849631 Newton per Cubic Meter -->10.8792603849631 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

10.8792603849631 ≈ 10.87926 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Saturated Unit Weight of Soil
