Height of Wedge of Soil given Angle of Inclination and Slope angle Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Height of Wedge of Soil given Angle of Inclination and Slope angle?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
h=Hsin((θi-θ)π180)sin(θiπ180)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
h=10msin((36.85°-25°)π180)sin(36.85°π180)
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
h=10msin((36.85°-25°)3.1416180)sin(36.85°3.1416180)
Next Step Convert Units
h=10msin((0.6432rad-0.4363rad)3.1416180)sin(0.6432rad3.1416180)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
h=10sin((0.6432-0.4363)3.1416180)sin(0.64323.1416180)
Next Step Evaluate
h=3.21580003439647m
LAST Step Rounding Answer
h=3.2158m
