Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The water vascular system is a unique hydraulic system found in echinoderms (starfish, sea urchins, etc.). It's primary functions are locomotion (via tube feet), food capture (also using tube feet), and respiration (gas exchange through tube feet and other structures). It plays a minor role in excretion, but its main roles are locomotion, feeding, and respiration.

- A cut slope is made in a silty clay soil for a new road project, as shown in the figure. The locations of the ground water table (GWT) and potential failure surface are shown in the figure. After the cut is made, the excess pore water pressure is fully dissipated, and the shear stress at the point A is 60 kN/m². The factor of safety at the point A for long-term stability is .......... (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
