SITUATION. Given a 9 m cut slope is shown, with a unit weight of soil is 17kN/m3. Friction angle and cohesion along the rock surface are 20 degrees and 24 kPa respectively. The slope makes an angle of 30 degrees from horizontal and the failure plane is at 15 degrees. Determine the force tending to cause sliding.
