40.
A direct shear test was conducted on a cohesionless soil (c = 0) specimen under a normal stress of 200 kN/m2. The specimen failed at a shear stress of 100 kN/m2. The angle of internal friction of the soil (degrees) is

c = 6tθ.
6 = shear stress.
t - tan.
c - coulmn constant.

Shear stress = C + normal stress*tan (theta).
Here given C=0, shear stress = 100 and normal stress = 200.
After putting all these values in above formula we will get.
"theta= 26.56".
