Mining Engineering > GATE 2023 > Slope Stability
A rock slope is intercepted by a joint plane at an angle 30° as shown in figure.
The following data are available: Unit weight of the rock: 20 kN/m3 Cohesion of joint: 30 kPa Friction angle of joint: 22° The factor of safety of the rock slope to slide along the joint plane is [rounded off to 2 decimal places]

Correct : 1.84
