N B 0 A Horizontal The stresses shown in the figure are applied at a point in a dry clayey sand soil mass. A= 50 kPa and B= 125 kPa The shear strength parameters of the clayey sand are: c'= 9kPa and p'=29° 0=30° a) The value of the shear stress, T, is slowly increased. What value would cause shear failure at this point (in kPa)? b) At failure, what angle does the failure plane make with the horizontal (in degrees)?

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?
