Now, assume groundwater table is far, referring to the Figure B, calculate the dry unit weight for 2nd layer (depth below existing ground surface from 2 m till 4.5 m). Assume the specific gravity is 2.65 and unit weight of water is 10 kN/m3. Answer in kPa with two decimal place only. (Please write down value only. Don't input unit in the answer)
