Question:
The depth of water in a lake is 4 m. The soil at the bottom of the lake consists of sandy clay. The water content of the soil was determined to be 25.0%. The specific gravity of the soil grains is 2.70. Determine the void ratio and the unit weight of the soil. What would be the total stress, effective stress, and pore water pressure at the 5 m depth into the bottom of the lake?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
