A canal is proposed to be made in soil having cohesion 25 kN/m2, p' = 0° and void ratio of 0.792 and specific gravity of 2.65. If there is a sudden drawdown of water in the canal then the maximum depth for cutting of side slope of 1:1 is — m. (Take factor of safety = 2.5 and stability number = 0.121).
