![Question 11
A cylindrical sediment core sample with the dimensions: diameter = 10[cm] and length = 30[cm] is placed in a Darcy experimental setup (see figure below) and fully re-saturated. At
steady state the following information was recorded: hydraulic heads h₁ = 14.5[cm] and h₂ = 10.2[cm], flow Q = 6.5[ml/min].

Please calculate the following and provide answers with three significant figures:
a) Hydraulic conductivity (K) in the unit m/day.
K =
[m/day]
b) Intrinsic permeability (k) assuming that the fluid used in the experiment is pure water at 25°C Report result using scientific notation and in the unit of m².
