Question: Please complete 7 . 2 7 with the two groundwater depths at 1 0 ft and 3 0 ft instead of the 1 2 ft

Please complete 7.27 with the two groundwater depths at 10 ft and 30 ft instead of the 12 ft and 20 ft listed. Thank you kindly!!
.27 Figure P7.27 shows the soil profile at a site where you plan to lower the water table. You have results from two consolidation tests, one from the upper 12ft thick overconsolidated crust, and another from the lower 32ft thick normally consolidated zone. You plan to lower the water table from its current 12ft depth to 20ft below ground surface. The consolidation properties for each layer are shown. Assume full capillarity.
a. Compute the v' in the middle of each layer before and after the water table is lowered.
b. Determine the total settlement that will result from lowering the water table.
