Consider a cylindrical water tank on the ground surface. Given that the radius of the tank is (R)=6ft and the depth of tank is (D)=8ft, calculate the vertical stress increase (z) at points 1.5,3,6, and 9ft below the ground surface (at the center of the circular area) and 9ft below, and 3ft from the center. (Hint: Use w to find pressure on soil caused by the tank.)
