Question:

During heavy rain, a section of a mountainside measuring 2.5 km horizontally, 0.80 km up along the slope, and 2.0m 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 0.40 km x 0.40 km and that mud has a density of 1900 kg/m3. What is the mass of the mud sitting above a 4.0m2 area of the valley floor?
