Submerged Unit Weight given Critical Depth Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Submerged Unit Weight = (Cohesion of Soil*(sec((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil)))^2)/(Critical Depth*(tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))-tan((Angle of Internal Friction))))
γ^' = (C_s*(sec((i)))^2)/(h_c*(tan((i))-tan((φ))))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
sec - Secant is a trigonometric function that is defined ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine., sec(Angle)

Variables Used

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.
Cohesion of Soil - (Measured in Kilopascal) - Cohesion of Soil is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil.
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.
Critical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - The Critical Depth is defined as the depth of flow where energy is at a minimum for a particular discharge.
Angle of Internal Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction is the angle measured between the normal force and resultant force .

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cohesion of Soil: 5 Kilopascal --> 5 Kilopascal No Conversion Required
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil: 64 Degree --> 1.11701072127616 Radian (Check conversion here)
Critical Depth: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Internal Friction: 46 Degree --> 0.802851455917241 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ^' = (C_s*(sec((i)))^2)/(h_c*(tan((i))-tan((φ)))) --> (5*(sec((1.11701072127616)))^2)/(1.01*(tan((1.11701072127616))-tan((0.802851455917241))))

Evaluating ... ...

γ^' = 25.386076132446

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

25.386076132446 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

25.386076132446 ≈ 25.38608 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Submerged Unit Weight
