A glass cylinder 5 cm internal diameter and with a screen at the bottom was used as a falling head permeameter. The thickness of the sample was 10 cm. With the water Level in the tube at the start of the test as 50 cm above the tail water, it dropped by 10 cm in one minute, the tail water level remaining unchanged. Calculate the value of k for the sample of the soil, Comment on the nature of the soil,
