A sand sample is subjected to  direct shear testing at it's (in - situ) water  content. Two tests are performed. For one of  the tests, the sample shears at a stress of 400  kPa when the normal stress is 600 kPa. From  these data,Determine the value of the apparent  cohesion. Determine the corresponding angle of  internal friction.
