The water table in a deposit of uniform sand is located at 2 m below the ground level. Assuming the soil above the water table be dry and the void ratio is 0.75. The effective stress (in kN/m2, rounded off to nearest integer) at a depth of 5 m below the ground level is (upto 2 decimal places), Take G= 2.65 and Y= 9.81 kN/m².
