\because \;\;1^{st}
term of given D. Equation contains product of dependent variable with it's derivative, so it is non-linear and also we have 2nd order derivative so it's order is two
i.e., 2nd order non linear equation.

In a two-dimensional stress analysis, the state of stress at a point P is
[\sigma ]=\begin{bmatrix} \sigma _{xx} &\tau _{xy} \\ \tau _{xy}& \sigma _{yy} \end{bmatrix}

Question 10 |
Which one of the following statements is NOT correct?
A clay deposit with a liquidity index greater than unity is in a state of plastic consistency. | |
The cohesion of normally consolidated clay is zero when tri-axial test is conducted
under consolidated undrained condition. | |
The ultimate bearing capacity of a strip foundation supported on the surface of sandy
soil increase in direct proportion to the width of footing. | |
In case of a point load, Boussinesq's equation predicts higher value of vertical stress
at a point directly beneath the load as compared to Westergaard's equation. |
Question 10 Explanation:
A clay deposit with liquidty index greater then 1, will be in liquid stage of consistency.
\because \;\;I_L=\frac{w_n-w_p}{w_l-w_p} \gt 1
\therefore \;\; w_n \gt w_L
\because \;\;I_L=\frac{w_n-w_p}{w_l-w_p} \gt 1
\therefore \;\; w_n \gt w_L
