Solved: During heavy rain, a section of a mountainside

Chapter 1, Problem 25

(choose chapter or problem)

During heavy rain, a section of a mountainside measuring 2.5 km horizontally, 0.80 km up along the slope, and 2.0 m deep slips into a valley in a mud slide. Assume that the mud ends up uniformly distributed over a surface area of the valley measuring \(0.40 \ \mathrm{km} \times 0.40 \ \mathrm{km}\) and that mud has a density of \(1900 \ \mathrm{kg/m}^3\) . What is the mass of the mud sitting above a \(4.0 \ \mathrm{m}^2\) area of the valley floor?
