1. You are to determine the optimum water content and the corresponding maximum dry unit weight of the soil at a location through testing five soil samples with different water content. The data is summarized in the table below: Dry unit weight y, N/m3 15365.91 17004.00 17221.22 16093.31 15243.99 water content (w, %) 10.45 12.50 15.07 17.65 19.70 Create a program that will give a smooth curve that will pass through the data points and determine the optimum water content % (independent variable) and the maximum dry unit weight (dependent variable) of the soil at the location. hint: maximum dry unit weight is the peak of the curve and the derivative at that point is zero.

When it comes to protecting coastlines from erosion, rocks are sometimes used as a barrier. In order for a rock to not be shifted by waves, it must weigh 1,000 kilograms (approximately 1 ton). How big (what volume) does the rock need to be? You are using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m3.
A confined aquifer at a depth of 34.8 m is encountered during the drilling of a water well. The surface elevation of the well is 267.4 m. What must the minimum static groundwater elevation be in this well for it to be considered artesian?
True or False 1. If a well is drilled into a confined aquifer, the water can rise above its level in the aquifer because of the extra hydrostatic (fluid) pressure; which is called an artesian system. The water in an artesian system will rise all the way to the ground surface. 2. In areas suffered from surface subsidence, solutions such as pumping water back underground are likely to work.
