Normal Force on given Plane in Cohesionless Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Normal Force on Soil = (Shear Force on Soil/Coefficient of Internal Friction)
Fn = (F_s/tanφ)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Normal Force on Soil - (Measured in Newton) - Normal Force on Soil is the force which is normal to the shear force in the soil mechanics.
Shear Force on Soil - (Measured in Newton) - Shear Force on Soil is the force which causes shear deformation to occur in the shear plane in soil mechanics.
Coefficient of Internal Friction - Coefficient of Internal Friction is a measure of the ability of a unit of rock or soil to withstand shear stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Force on Soil: 48.5 Newton --> 48.5 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Internal Friction: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
