Assuming in Test 4, a sample was tested using the Unconfined Compression Laboratory Test, and the test was conducted fast enough as to assume that undrained conditions develop. If the sample failed when the axial compression stress is 0₁f = 50 kPa, draw the Mohr Circle showing the failure envelope and its equation, and calculate the undrained shear strength Cu of the sample.
