Weight of Wedge of Soil Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Weight of Wedge of Soil?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

W we = \frac{L \cdot h \cdot γ}{2}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

W we = \frac{5m \cdot 3.01m \cdot 18kN/m³}{2}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

W we = \frac{5m \cdot 3.01m \cdot 18000N/m³}{2}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

W we = \frac{5 \cdot 3.01 \cdot 18000}{2}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

W we = 135450N

LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

W we = 135.45kN
