Answer Question 7

Transcribed Image Text:**6. Problem Statement:**
The soil sample shown has a diameter of 40 mm. If the hydraulic conductivity \( K = 0.004 \, \text{cm/sec} \) and the flow rate is \( 0.7 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{sec} \), what does \( h \) have to be? **All dimensions shown are in cm.**
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram is a side view of a soil sample setup that includes:
- A vertical section labeled "soil" with a height marked as \( 30 \, \text{cm} \).
- The unknown height \( h \) is part of the soil sample's vertical section.
- The bottom left section is marked \( 10 \, \text{cm} \) from the base to the start of the vertical soil sample section.
- To the right, there is a horizontal section measuring \( 6 \, \text{cm} \) from the base to the end of the diagram.
**7. Calculation Task:**
For the above problem, determine the total head \( h_t \), pressure head \( h_p \), and elevation head \( h_e \) at the midpoint of the sample during the test.
- \( h_e = \, \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \, \text{cm} \)
- \( h_p = \, \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \, \text{cm} \)
- \( h_t = \, \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \, \text{cm} \)
