Weight of Soil on Wedge given Factor of Safety evaluator uses Weight of Body in Newtons = (Unit Cohesion*Length of Slip Arc*Radial Distance)/(Factor of Safety*Distance between LOA and COR) to evaluate the Weight of Body in Newtons, The Weight of Soil on Wedge given Factor of Safety formula is defined as the measure of the value of the vertical component of the soil mass acting on a potential failure wedge within a slope. This component contributes to the driving force that tends to cause slope instability or failure. Weight of Body in Newtons is denoted by W symbol.
