Refer to Problem 16.7. With all other conditions remaining the same, what would be the factor of safety against sliding for the trial wedge ABC if the height of the slope was 9 m?

Data From Problem 16.7

Figure 16.50 shows a slope with an inclination of β = 58^ο. If AC represents a trial failure plane inclined at an angle θ = 32^ο with the horizontal, determine the factor of safety against sliding for the wedge ABC. Given: H = 6 m, γ = 19 kN/m³, ϕ' = 21^ο, and c' = 38 kN/m².
