Pls.  solve clearly in handwriten.  Thank you 

. According to the elastic theory, the vertical stress induced by a flexible line
load length has an intensity of "q" units/length on the surface of a semi-
infinite soil mass, this can be estimated by the expression:
Ap = 0.637 q/N
where:
N = z[1+)]
r = horizontal distance of the point from the line load
z = depth of the point at which stress is induced
A masonry wall weighing 9 kN per lineal meter is carried by a wall footing
0.60 m wide.
a) Evaluate the bearing pressure exerted by the footing onto the
supporting soil
b) Evaluate the stress in the soil caused by the load depth equal to twice
its width
c) Evaluate the stress at a depth of 2 m and a horizontal distance of 3 m
from the line of the load
