A slope orientation is 124/63 (dip direction/dip angle) with a horizontal top, intersected by two sets of joints with orientations (dip direction/dip angle) 182/52 and 046/69 and friction angle 30°. (1) Plot the slope surface and two sets of joints using stereonet projection. Determine the trend and plunge of the line of intersection. Check whether wedge failure is kinematically feasible.
