A granular soil has a saturated unit weight of $20 \:kN/m^3$ and an effective angle of shearing resistance of $30^{\circ}$. The unit weight of water is $9.81 \: kN/m^3$. A slope is to be made on this soil deposit in which the seepage occurs ... seepage condition for a factor of safety of $1.5$, the safe slope angle (in degree, round off to $1$ decimal place) would be ________

The seepage occurring through an earthen dam is represented by a flownet comprising of $10$ equipotential drops and $20$ flow channels. The coefficient of permeability of the soil is $3 \: mm/min$ and the head loss is $5 \: m$. The rate of seepage (expressed in $cm^3/s$ per $m$ length of the dam) through the earthen dam is _________
