A clay layer 4 m thick rests beneath a deposit of submerged sand 8 m thick. The top of the sand is located 3 m below the surface of a lake. The saturated unit weight of sand is 25 kN/cu.m and of clay 20 kN/cu.m. Determine the total vertical pressure in kPa at mid-height of the clay layer. (Final answer should be rounded-off to two decimal places) 3m Water Sand, 25 KN/m' 8 m 2 m Clay, 20 KN/m 4 m
