(15%):
A soil sample 10 cm in diameter is placed in a tube 1 m long. A constant head supply of water is allowed to flow into one end of the soil at A , and the outflow at B is collected by a beaker. The average amount of water collected is 1cm3 for every 5 seconds. The tube is inclined as shown in the figure. Determine (a) hydraulic gradient, (b) flow rate, (c) Darcy velocity (i.e. flux),(d) hydraulic conductivity.
