A4-m thick normally consolidated clay layer is subjected to a load such that the average effective vertical stress increases from 185 kpa to 310 kpa. the coefficient of consolidation for the clay layer is 0.75 m2/yr, and the modulus of volume compressibility is 0.00025 m2/kn.

determine:
a) total settlement in mm.
b) settlement at the end of one year in mm.
c) time in days for 50% consolidation to occur.
d) time in days for 25mm of settlement to occur.

the electric field is a “force field” around a charged object that illustrates the direction the electric force would push an imaginary 

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
