Determine the shear strength of soil (in kN/m² units) in terms of effective stress on a plane within a saturated soil mass at a point where the total stress is 220 kN/m² and the pore water pressure is 120 kN/m². The effective stress shear strength parameters for the soil are: cohesion = 16 kN/m² and angle of internal friction = 30. (take sin 30 = 0.5, tan 30 = 0.6; cos 30 = 0.9)
