Question: Please round to the nearest Tenth ( i . e . , 0 . 1 ) . No Comma! Moist unit weight of soil, gamma

Please round to the nearest Tenth (i.e.,0.1). No Comma!
Moist unit weight of soil, gamma =105 pcf
The factor of safety, FS =3
A square footing carries the proposed total load of 510 kips (Q).
=30
c=0
v=0.3
E=450,000lbft2
I=0.88
Allowable bearing capacity, qa = x B psf (only numeric value!)
Required dimension, B in terms of bearing capacity = ft
Required dimension, B in terms of settlement = ft
Please round to the nearest Tenth ( i . e . , 0 .
