Question is in picture. Please draw out a mohrs circle!

A clayey sand has a friction angle of 30 degrees and a cohesion of 200 psf. In the ground, the sand has a principal horizontal normal stress of 1000 psf acting on it. Determine the principal vertical normal stress necessary to cause failure of the sand. Assume no shear stresses on the element and that the vertical stress is the major principal stress. Determine the shear stress and normal stress on the plane experiencing failure. What is the inclination of the failure plane with respect to the horizontal.
