STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity: 150 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 150000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Cohesion of Soil: 5 Kilopascal --> 5000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion: 9 --> No Conversion Required
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal: 45.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 45900 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight: 1.6 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = (q_nf-((C_s*N_c)+(σ_s*(N_q-1))))/(0.5*B*N_γ) --> (150000-((5000*9)+(45900*(2.01-1))))/(0.5*2*1.6)

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 36650.625

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

36650.625 Newton per Cubic Meter -->36.650625 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

36.650625 ≈ 36.65062 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
