An infinite slope of soil, with height 10 m, is inclined at an angle of 35° to the horizontal. The soil has c' = 22 kN/m², q' = 22°. A stability analysis by the method of slices has given the following forces per running meter Σ Shearing forces = 350 kN > Normal forces = 755 kN Σ Neutral forces = 175 kN If the length of arc is 19 m then the ratio of F.O.S with respect to cohesion to the F.O.S with respect to shearing strength is
