A soil deposit exists in an area where the ground surface is level. The unit weight for the soil is 22 kN/m³. The lateral pressure is 0.5 times the vertical pressure. The vertical and lateral pressures represent principal stresses. The vertical pressure (stress) is the product of the soil unit weight and depth. Determine the value for the major and minor principal stresses at a depth of 10 m.
