Estimate the coefficient of permeability for a sand formation, given the following representative information. The representative void ratio value is based on calculations using results of in-place density tests and laboratory tests for the specific gravity of soil particles. The particle size data from grain-size-distribution analyses is: Void ratio e = 0.65, D60 = 2.0 mm, D10 = 0.40 mm
