An experiment was conducted to determine the hydralulic conductivity of an aquifer. The piezometric heads at two points 160 m apart were found to be 56 m and 49 m above a datum. A tracer injected into the first peizometer was observed after (34+X) hours in the second well. The porosity value of a sample of the aquifer is 23%. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer in m/s.
