Submerged Unit Weight given Normal Stress Component Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Submerged Unit Weight = Normal Stress/(Depth of Prism*(cos((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil)))^2)
γ^' = σ_Normal/(z*(cos((i)))^2)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

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

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.
Normal Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Normal stress is defined as the stress produced by the perpendicular action of a force on a given area.
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

Normal Stress: 0.8 Pascal --> 0.8 Pascal 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

γ^' = σ_Normal/(z*(cos((i)))^2) --> 0.8/(3*(cos((1.11701072127616)))^2)

Evaluating ... ...

γ^' = 1.38766555807742

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.38766555807742 Newton per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.38766555807742 ≈ 1.387666 Newton per Cubic Meter <-- Submerged Unit Weight
