Question: Figure 2 . A constant - head test Figure 3 . A falling - head test 3 . In a constant - head permeability test

Figure 2. A constant-head test
Figure 3. A falling-head test
3. In a constant-head permeability test (see Figure 2 too), the length of the specimen is 150mm and the cross-sectional area is 3167mm2. If k=0.062cmsec and a rate of flow of 160cm3min has to be maintained during the test, what should be the head difference across the specimen? Also, determine the discharge velocity under the test conditions (assume specimen e=0.7).
