Question: A capillary permeability test was conducted in two stages under a head of 6 0 cm and 1 8 0 cm respectively at the entry

A capillary permeability test was conducted in two stages under a head of 60 cm and 180 cm respectively at the entry end. In the first stage, the wetted surface moved from 1.5 cm to 7 cm in 7 minutes. In the second stage, it advanced from 7 cm to 18.5 cm in 24 minutes. The degree of saturation at the end of the test was 85% and the porosity was 35%. The capillary head and the coefficient of permeability are respectively
(a)84.65 cm and 4.8510-3cmmin
(b)92.43 cm and 4.8510-3cmmin
(c)92.43 cm and 6.8710-3cmmin
(d)84.65 cm and 6.8710-3cmmin
