In accordance with the Boussinesq theory, the
stress at depth Z, a semi-infinite,
homogeneous. isotropic soil mass below the
corner of a flexible area B x L in plan due to a
uniform load "q" per unit area may be
estimated from the expression P = q lz. The
value of lz may be obtained from the table
attached. A square footing 4 m. on a side
transmits a load of 1.6 MN onto the soil where
a layer of clay is formed at a depth of 8 m. to
12 m. below the base of the footing.

footing onto the surface.

directed the water jet from the nozzle at an
angle of 30· to the horizontal. Evaluate the
velocity of the water in meters per second,
leaving the nozzle of his hose to reach over
the wall if he stands 30 m. away from the wall
and the wall js standing 2 m. higher than the
nozzle of the hose. Neglect friction in the jet.

A ship having a displacement of 20000 metr!c
tones enters a harbor of fresh water. The ship
captain recorded a draft of 8.4 m. while the
ship was still in seawater (sp.gr. = 1.03).
Obtain the draft in meters of the ship in fresh
water if the horizontal section of the ship
below the water line is 3000 · m3 in both
instances.
h=0.194m
Draft in fresh water = 8.4 + 0.1 94 .
Draft in fresh water = 8.594 m.
