Question: Q 4 . A falling head permeability test was performed on a cylindrical soil sample ( diameter = 7 c m , length = 1

Q4. A falling head permeability test was performed on a cylindrical soil sample
(diameter =7cm, length =10cm). The initial head at time t=0 was 40cm and during
the test it dropped by 6cm in 12 minutes. The diameter of the standpipe was 0.8cm.
a). Calculate the coefficient of permeability in cms.
b). Determine the duration of the test (in minutes) for the final head to be 30cm.
