Question
  1. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity of the soil in cm/sec.
  2. Determine the seepage velocity, in cm/sec, if the porosity of soil is 0.25.
  3. Find the head difference, in mm, at t = 100 seconds.
Refer to the given figure below:
Length of specimen = 200 mm
Area of soil specimen = 1500 mm²
Area of stand pipe = 100 mm²
Head difference at time t = 0 is 500 mm
Head difference at time = 3 minutes is 300 mm
