Submerged Unit Weight given Factor of Safety for Cohesive Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Submerged Unit Weight = (Cohesion of Soil/((Factor of Safety-(tan((Angle of Internal Friction))/tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))))*Depth of Prism*cos((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))*sin((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil))))
γ^' = (C_s/((f_s-(tan((φ))/tan((i))))*z*cos((i))*sin((i))))
This formula uses 3 Functions, 6 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)
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)

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.
Factor of Safety - Factor of Safety expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.
Angle of Internal Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Internal Friction is the angle measured between the normal force and resultant force .
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.
Depth of Prism - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Prism is the length of prism along z direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cohesion of Soil: 5 Kilopascal --> 5 Kilopascal No Conversion Required
Factor of Safety: 2.8 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Internal Friction: 46 Degree --> 0.802851455917241 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil: 64 Degree --> 1.11701072127616 Radian (Check conversion here)
Depth of Prism: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ^' = (C_s/((f_s-(tan((φ))/tan((i))))*z*cos((i))*sin((i)))) --> (5/((2.8-(tan((0.802851455917241))/tan((1.11701072127616))))*3*cos((1.11701072127616))*sin((1.11701072127616))))

Evaluating ... ...

γ^' = 1.84321340995399

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.84321340995399 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.84321340995399 ≈ 1.843213 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Submerged Unit Weight
