A constant head permeameter test was conducted on a well graded fine sand with a dry mass of 3.085 kg and specific gravity of 2.69(i.e.=2,690 kg/m3). The specimen was 20 cm long, 10 cm in diameter. Following application of a constant differential head of 50 cm,240 cm3 of water was collected during 120 seconds of discharge. Determine the (a) hydraulic conductivity, (b) seepage velocity, and (c) discharge velocity during the test.
