5. A permeameter of 8 cm diameter contains a sample of length 35 cm. Attachments are made it to enable conducting either constant head test or falling head test. The stand pipe used for conducting falling head test has a diameter of 2.5 cm. When constant head test was conducted the loss of head was 100 cm measured on a length of 25 cm. If the rate of flow was 2.7 cc/sec, calculate the coefficient of permeability of soil. If a falling head test is conducted on the same sample in the permeameter find the time taken for head to fall from 150 cm to 100 cm.
