Problem $420\%$ PLEASE USE THIS SHEET TO PROVIDE

ANSWERS

Consider the laboratory setup shown with flow occurring through three soil layers

with the values of hydraulic conductivity shown. The $$tube$$ has the same cross$-$

section where soils $2$ and $3$ are placed and a slightly smaller one in the portion

where soil $1$ is positioned.

Rank the following quantities $($using $1$ for the greatest$).$ Clearly identify ties, if

any.

Points A$,$ B and C are at the midpoint of each of the three soil samples.
