A permeameter of 8.2 cm diameter contains a sample of soil of length 35 cm. It can be used either for constant head or falling head tests. The standpipe used for the latter has a diameter of 2.5 cm. In the constant head test the loss of head was 116 cm measured on a length of 25 cm when the rate of flow was 2.73 ml/s. Find the coefficient of permeability of the soil in mm/s.
