The Green and Ampt infiltration equation is a loss function used to compute the cumulative infiltration, F (cm) for a given infiltration rate, f(cm/hr). Recall that, f = Ks - (l - (M-wf)/F). For the given soil properties and infiltration rate, answer the following.

a. Compute the infiltration rate,/(cm/hr) for F = 2.07 cm, and show your computations.
b. Compute the cumulative infiltration resulting from a constant rain rate of 0.5 cm/hr for 1hr.
c. At saturation, what is the infiltration rate in cm/hr? Justify.
