A soil sample was collected near the Quriyat dam got the following properties: Coefficient of permeability k = 2.5x 105 m/sec, cross-sectional area = 45 cm?. A quantity of water 650 ml passed down for 15 minutes under an effective constant head of 450 mm. On oven drying, the test specimen has a mass of 500 g. Take Gs = 2.65, calculate a. Length of the soil sample in mm. b. Seepage velocity.
