Unit Weight of Soil given Vertical Stress on Surface of Prism Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Soil = Vertical Stress at a Point in Pascal/(Depth of Prism*cos((Angle of Inclination)))
γ = σ_vertical/(z*cos((I)))
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

Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Vertical Stress at a Point in Pascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Vertical Stress at a Point in Pascal is the stress acting perpendicular to the surface.
Depth of Prism - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Prism is the length of prism along z direction.
Angle of Inclination - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Inclination is defined as the angle measured from the horizontal surface of the wall or any object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vertical Stress at a Point in Pascal: 10 Pascal --> 10 Pascal No Conversion Required
Depth of Prism: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Inclination: 80 Degree --> 1.3962634015952 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = σ_vertical/(z*cos((I))) --> 10/(3*cos((1.3962634015952)))

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 19.1959016104501

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

19195.9016104501 Newton per Cubic Meter -->19.1959016104501 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

19.1959016104501 ≈ 19.1959 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Soil
