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

Ultimate Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics - (Measured in Pascal) - Ultimate Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
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

Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (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

ζ = (γ*z*cos((i*pi)/180)*sin((i*pi)/180)) --> (18000*3*cos((1.11701072127616*pi)/180)*sin((1.11701072127616*pi)/180))

Evaluating ... ...

ζ = 1052.49107170766

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1052.49107170766 Pascal -->1.05249107170766 Kilonewton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.05249107170766 ≈ 1.052491 Kilonewton per Square Meter <-- Ultimate Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics
