QI: In a falling head permeameter test on a fine sand the sample had a diameter of 76 mm and a length of 152mm with a stand pipe of 12.7 mm diameter. A stopwatch was started when h was 508 mm and read 19.6s when h was 254 mm; the test was repeated for a drop from 254mm to 127 mm and the time was 19.4s. Determine an average value for k in m/s. Answer 1.5 x 10m/s

If the flowrate into the settling tank in part b. is 850 m3/hr, please give the dimensions of you settling tank? Since you will need to address the smaller particles that have passed through this system at some later point, what is the particle size distribution (mass fraction vs. diameter) if we assume the particle density is that of sand (sg = 2.65)
