The stresses induced by a surface load on a loose horizontal sand (ɸ = 30^o) layer were found to be σ_v = 6.0 kPa, τ_v = 1.6 kPa, σ_h = 3.7 kPa, and τ_h = -1.6 kPa. By means of Mohr circles, determine if such a state of stress is safe. If so, what is the factor of safety? Use FS = τ_{ff(available)} / τ_f(applied) for the definition of factor of safety.
