In a falling head permeability test the following data was recorded for a soil sample having a diameter of 150mm and a length of 200mm. Standpipe diameter is 9mm. Initial standpipe level (h1) ----- 1200mm ------ 900mm Final standpipe level (h2) ------ 900mm ------- 750mm Time interval (t2 – t1) ---------- 65 sec --------- 41 sec Compute the average value of the coefficient of permeability.
