A long natural slope in overconsolidated fissured clay of saturated unit weight 22 kN/m3, is inclined at 14 ° to the horizontal. The water table is at the surface and the seepage is approximately parallel to the slope. A slip surface has developed on a place parallel to the surface at a depth of 4 m. The factor of safety along the slip plane using the residual strength parameter is _______ (Assume ϕ = 20°, Cohesion is negligible)
