The stresses induced by a surface load on a loose horizontal sand (ɸ = 30o) layer were found to be σv = 6.0 kPa, τv = 1.6 kPa, σh = 3.7 kPa, and τh = -1.6 kPa. By means of Mohr circles, determine if such a state of stress is safe. If so, what is the factor of safety? Use FS = τff(available) / τf(applied) for the definition of factor of safety.

A thin cylinder have inner radius 235 mm and thickness 6 mm subjected to an internal pressure of 5 MPa. Determine average circumferential stress?
3. At a different location in the Chesapeake, the same u-=4.4 cm/s and z,=3.1 cm were measured. At this new location, at 1 m above the bed, the Reynolds stress was measured to be u w' =-17.8 cm²/s² and the flux Richardson number was 0.23. First compute the velocity gradient at 1 meter above the bed using the logarithmic distribution and then determine the buoyancy flux ( w'p') at this location. Is the water column stably stratified?
