he discharge of water collected from a constant head permeameter in a period of 5 minutes is 500 ml. The internal diameter of the permeameter is 5 cm and the neasured difference in head between two gauging points 15 cm vertically apart is 40 cm. Calculate the coefficient of permeability. If the dry weight of the 15 cm long ample is 4.86 N and the specific gravity of the solids is 2.65, calculate the seepage relocity.

Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question.

The discharge of water collected from a constant head permeameter in a period of
15 minutes is 500 ml. The internal diameter of the permeameter is 5 cm and the
measured difference in head between two gauging points 15 cm vertically apart is
40 cm. Calculate the coefficient of permeability. If the dry weight of the 15 cm long
sample is 4.86 N and the specific gravity of the solids is 2.65, calculate the seepage
velocity.
