An infinite slope is made up of cohesionless soil with seepage parallel to and up to the sloping surface. The angle of the slope is 30° with respect to the horizontal. The unit weights of the saturated soil and water are 20 kN/m3 and 10 kN/m3, respectively. What is the minimum angle of shearing resistance of the soil (in degrees) required for a critically stable condition?
