A square prestressed concrete pile with a 14 inch side is to be driven to the necessary depth. It needs to be able to support 105 kips. It has been determined that the point resistance qp is 120 ksf and the side friction fs is 450 psf. Use formula 12.2 (see attached image) to estimate how long the pile needs to be with a factor of safety of at least 2.5. Round your answer to a multiple of 5 feet. Use L as a variable to calculate the load in formula 12.2. L can be obtained from this equation.
