A second specimen of the same normally consolidated clay was consolidated in the triaxial cell under the same confining stress of 150 kPa. However, the specimen was then sheared using drained conditions in axial compression (CD test). Determine the deviatoric stress at failure that should be obtained in this second test. Indicate your answer below [Units: kPa] :

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
