In a falling head permeameter, the sample used is 25 cm long having a cross-sectional area of 24 cm2. The cross-sectional area of the standpipe is 2 cm2. The sample of soil is made of three layers perpendicular to the direction of the flow. The thickness of the top layer is 8 cm and has a value of k1 = 4 x 10-4 cm/sec, the second layer of thickness 10 cm has k2 = 6 x 10-4 cm/sec, and the bottom layer of thickness 7 cm has k3 = 8 x 10-4 cm/sec. Calculate the time required for a drop of head from 25 to 12 cm. ( in minutes).
