Shear Stress Component given Submerged Unit Weight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Stress for Submerged Slopes = (Submerged Unit Weight*Depth of Prism*cos((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))*sin((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil)))
𝜏 = (γ^'*z*cos((i))*sin((i)))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Shear Stress for Submerged Slopes - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress for Submerged Slopes is the force per unit area parallel to the slope surface beneath water, causing deformation.
Submerged Unit Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Submerged Unit Weight is the unit weight of weight of soil as observed underwater in a saturated condition of course.
Depth of Prism - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Prism is the length of prism along z direction.
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil is defined as the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Submerged Unit Weight: 5.01 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 5.01 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
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

𝜏 = (γ^'*z*cos((i))*sin((i))) --> (5.01*3*cos((1.11701072127616))*sin((1.11701072127616)))

Evaluating ... ...

𝜏 = 5.92190081335647

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5.92190081335647 Pascal --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

5.92190081335647 ≈ 5.921901 Pascal <-- Shear Stress for Submerged Slopes
