Resultant Force acts at distance of (ẍ from O) (MR - MO) / V = 2.373 m

Eccentricity (e) |b/2- ẍ| = 0.123 m
Maximum Bending Stress Pmax V/b (1+6e/b) = 81.48 KN/m2
Minimum Bending Stress Pmin V/b (1-6e/b) = 58.52 KN/m2
Permissible Compressive stress 7000 KN/m2
Permissible Tension stress -530 KN/m2
Factor of Safty (Overturning) FSO MR/MO = 11.461 (must be >2.0)
Factor of Safty (Sliding) FSS 0.6V/H = 3.086 (must be >1.5)
As Maximum Bending Stress is within permissible limit, it is Safe
Tension within Limits, Hence Safe
Factor of safty in overturning is sufficient
Factor of safty in Sliding is sufficient
