Q3(30 p.) A falling head hydraulic conductivity test has been conducted on a clay sample. The soil sample was 55mm in diameter and 120mm tall. The standpipe had an inside diameter of 6mm. The water level in the bath surrounding the sample was 113mm above the laboratory countertop and the water level in the standpipe fell from a height of 303mm to 105mm from the top of the water level in the bath in 17 hours 5 minutes. Compute the hydraulic conductivity (permeability) of the soil.
