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 (a) the coefficient of permeability (mm/s), (b) 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 (mm/s).
