A Darcy's law-abiding column test was conducted in laboratory to determine the hydraulic conductivity of a soil. The test was made at a temperature of 15.5 degrees celcius in a cylindrical column, who's lenght is 20cm and who's circular area is 0.001 m 2. A difference of hydraulic charge 0.25m from one extremity of the cylinder to the other one. The volume of water flowing through the cylinder column on a 5 minutes time period is equal to 75*10^-6 m^3.
a) Calculate the hydraulical conductivity in m/s, as well as the permeability in m^2 of the soil sample.
