A simple wall footing (i.e. continuous footing) is shown in the figure below along with the concentric wall loads given in kips per unit foot out of the page. Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity $\left({\mathrm{q}}_{\mathrm{u}}\right)$ for the following conditions: (a) when the water table is at a depth of 2 feet below the ground surface (shown in figure), and (b) when the water table is at a depth of 5 feet below the ground surface.
