Figure 1 shows a slope with a trial wedge has been divided into (9) slices. For the soil, given: the saturated unit weight (ysa) -19 kN/m³, ' = 20°, and 10 in c=20 kN/m². The weight, length, and slope angle of each slice presented in the Table below. Determine the factor of safety (F) using the ordinary method of slices. 14 Fig. 1 y-19 kN/m 4-20 20 kN/m2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Slice No. 1 W.
