A vertical trench is excavated in a clayey soil deposit having a surcharge load of 30 kPa. A fluid of unit weight 12 kN/m3 is poured in the trench to prevent collapse as the excavation proceeds. Assume that the fluid is not seeping through the soil deposit. If the undrained cohesion of the clay deposit is 20 kPa and saturated unit weight is 18 kN/m3 , what is the maximum depth of unsupported excavation (in m, rounded off to two decimal places)? ________________

The ordinates of a one-hour unit hydrograph for a catchment are given below: 

$$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline t(\text { hour }) & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline Q\left(\mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}\right) & 0 & 9 & 21 & 18 & 12 & 5 & 2 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array} $$


Using the principle of superposition, a D-hour unit hydrograph for the catchment was derived from this one-hour unit hydrograph. The ordinates of the D-hour unit hydrograph were obtained as 3 m3/s at t = 1 hour and 10 m3/s at t = 2 hour. The value of D (in integer) is _____________.
