Question

A river has a depth of 9m, 12m, and 7m during the months of February, March, and April, respectively. The river bed has a layers of soil shown below. Assuming that the river bed does not change, determine the following:

The effective stress, 9m below the river bed during the month of March, in kilopascals?
The effective stress, 9m below the river bed during the month of February, in kilopascals?
The effective stress, 9m below the river bed during the month of April, in kilopascals?
