A block slides down an inclined plane from rest. Initially the block is at 4.5m above the ground. Find the speed of the block when it is 1.5m above the ground. 1) 7.7m/s 2) 9.4m/s 3) 5.4m/s 4) 3.2m/s

Use the profile illustrated for problem (1). assume that the layer of silty sand fill (sm) is placed over the entire site. estimate the thickness of the fill (h - in feet) that will cause the effective vertical stress at the center of the clay layer to increase by 517.5 pounds per square foot.
