Which one of the following statements is NOT true about this graph? E F D Figure 1 There is a circuit. A loop exists. There are multiple edges. It is a connected graph. B * 2 points graph has a degree 3 for each vertex, then how many k 2 points
2. A site is underlain by a 5m-thick layer of clay. Below the layer of clay lies a 7m-thick layer of sand. The water table is located 2m below the ground surface. Draw the profile. Then, calculate the vertical effective stress at a point located 6m below the ground surface. Show your work and circle the answer.
***The answer includes:  1. The correct dimension of variables is: F: MLT^-2, v: LT^-1, μ:ML^-1T^-1, ρ: ML^-3, w: L 2. Choice of repeating variables: (w,v,ρ). Choice does NOT include F. Stick with choice throughout.  3. # pi terms = # variables- # dimensions = 5-3=2. 4. π1= F/w^2v^2ρ 5. π2= μ/wvp These are the correct answers for the problem, I just need the work involved in solving it​
