Question

Figure below shows layers of soil in a tube that is 100mm x 100mm in
cross section. Water is supplied at a constant head difference of 400 mm across the
sample. The hydraulic conductivities of the soils in the direction of flow through them are
as follows.

Soil	k (cm/sec)	Porosity, n (%)
A	1x10-2	25
B	3x10-3	32
C	4.9x10-4	22

a. Calculate the equivalent k in cm/sec.
b. Calculate the rate of water supply in cm^3/hr
c. Calculate the seepage velocity through soil C in m/sec.
