Find the hydraulic conductivity coefficient of permeability, k. 

A falling head test is performed on a clay soil, for the test.
Sample Length = 8cm
Cross sectional area of sample = 10 sq.cm
Cross sectional area of stand pipe = 1.5 sq.cm
Height of water in the stand pipe at the start of test period = 100cm
Height of water in the stand pipe at the end of test period = 90cm
Time = 60 mins.
