Represented,
- a) By Straight line

- c) By Linear curve
- d) None of the mentioned

Answer: a) By Straight line
Explanation:
- According to Coulomb, the relationship between shear strength & normal stress is adequately represented by the straight line.
- In the Mohr theory, the relation between the shear strength & normal stress is not linear though shear stress depends on the normal stress.
- A definite relationship exists between the principal stress & the angle of internal friction suggested by Coulomb and Mohr.
- A straight line passes through the origin, especially for ideal pure friction material.
