Variables Used

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.
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.
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.

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)
Factor of Safety: 2.8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_sat = (γ^'*φ')/(φ_IF*f_s) --> (31*0.174358392274201)/(0.19198621771934*2.8)

Evaluating ... ...

γ_sat = 10.0548701298702

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.0548701298702 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.0548701298702 ≈ 10.05487 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Saturated Unit Weight
