Question - For a surcharge angle β the coefficient of passive earth pressure is _______
Options:
A .  Kₚ=\(\frac{\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}{cosβ+\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}} \)
B .  Kₚ=\(cosβ \frac{cosβ+\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}{cosβ-\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}\)
C .  Kₚ=\(\frac{cosβ-\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}{cosβ+\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}\)
D .  Kₚ=\(cosβ \frac{cosβ-\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}{cosβ+\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}\)
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b).Kₚ=\(cosβ \frac{cosβ+\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}{cosβ-\sqrt{cos^2 β-cos^2 φ}}\)
