A joint plane dipping at 30° intersects the slope edge and the crest as shown in the figure below. The unit weight of rock is 25 kN/m3, and cohesion and friction angle of the joint surface are 40 kPa and 25° respectively. The safety factor of the shaded block (round off to two decimal places) is __________.

Correct : 2.12
