Question: A falling - head permeability test is performed on a fine - grained soil. The soil sample has a length of 6 . 4 in

A falling-head permeability test is performed on a fine-grained soil. The soil sample has a length of 6.4 in. and a cross-sectional area of 0.7 in2. The water in the standpipe flowing into the soil is 36.3 in. above the top of the sample at the start of the test. It falls 2.0 in. during the 30 minute test. The standpipe has a cross-sectional area of 0.06 in2.
What is the Coefficient of Permeability in inches per hour?
