The height of water at the middle of the slice is hw = 3.0 m hint:Given that the soil is partially saturated in Slice#3, the total weight of the slice (W) should be calculated by summing up the weight of the area that is below the water table (saturated soil) and the weight of the area located above the water table (moist soil).
