The stresses induced by a surface load on a loose horizontal sand (ɸ = 30o) layer were found to be σv = 6.0 kPa, τv = 1.6 kPa, σh = 3.7 kPa, and τh = -1.6 kPa. By means of Mohr circles, determine if such a state of stress is safe. If so, what is the factor of safety? Use FS = τff(available) / τf(applied) for the definition of factor of safety.
