during heavy rain, a section of a mountainside measuring 3.1 km wide horizontally, 1.1 km up along the slope, and 2.3 m deep slips into a valley in a mud slide. Assume that the mud ends up uniformly distributed over a surface area of the valley measuring 1.5 km x 1.5 km and that the mass of a cubic meter of mud is 1900 kg. What is the mass of the mud sitting above a 4.6 m2 area of the valley floor?
