Problem 2(10 points)
A constant-head experiment (figure below) was conducted on a cylindrical column packed with a soil. The diameter of the soil column is 5cm. The column length is L=30cm. The outflow rate Qout=30cm3sec was measured downstream. Water level from the upstream tank to the bottom of the soil column is 1.0m. Water level difference between the upstream tank and downstream tank is 0.6cm. Water has specific weight of 9810Nm3 and dynamic viscosity of 0.0015N.sm2. Water flows from the bottom of the soil column (cross section B) to the top of the soil column (cross section A).
(1) Given this setup, calculate hydraulic head at cross section A and cross section B
(2) Estimate intrinsic permeability of the soil (r
