For a falling-head permeability test, the following values are given: · Length of specimen = 250 mm. · Area of soil specimen = 1200 mm2. · Area of standpipe = 50 mm2. · Head difference at time t = 0 = 600 mm. · Head difference at time t = 200 sec = 300 mm. Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the soil in cm/sec.
