The total horizontal and vertical stresses at a point X in a saturated sandy medium are 170 kPa and 300 kPa, respectively. The static pore-water pressure is 30 kPa. At failure, the excess pore water pressure is measured to be 94.50 kPa, and the shear stresses on the vertical and horizontal planes passing through the point X is zero. Effective cohesion is 0 kPa and effective angle of internal friction is 36°. The shear strength (kPa, up to two decimal places) at point X is
