A 4 m long soil sample has a cross-sectional area 2.5 m2. If water flows throughthe soil sample and the fluid energy lost is 1750 N-m for every cubic meterflow of water, estimate Darcy's velocity and the coefficient of permeability.The time of flow for 1 m3 of water is 25 hours. Also determine the seepagevelocity if the void ratio of the sample is 0.57.

Question

 A 4 m long soil sample has a cross-sectional area 2.5 m2. If water flows through
the soil sample and the fluid energy lost is 1750 N-m for every cubic meter
flow of water, estimate Darcy's velocity and the coefficient of permeability.
The time of flow for 1 m3 of water is 25 hours. Also determine the seepage
velocity if the void ratio of the sample is 0.57.
