Given the planar block slide data shown in the sketch where a uniformly distributed surcharge ? is applied to the slope crest over an area (bl), first find the slope safety factor without a surcharge and then find the magnitude of the surcharge possible for a slope safety factor of 1.1 against translational sliding. Note that b = 25 ft (7.62 m).
