A sample of sand, 5 cm in diameter and 15 cm long, was prepared at a porosity of 60% in a constant-head apparatus. The total head was kept constant at 30 cm and the amount of water collected in 5 seconds was 40 cm^3. The test temperature was 20 deg C. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity. Provide a diagram a.5.0 x 10^-2 b.3.47 x 10^-2 c.2.0 x 10^-1 d.6.7 x 10^-1
