A 50-yr flood typhoon occurred in Metro Manila, started from 12:00AM of Dec 14 to 12:00PM of Dec16. Knowing that the initial infiltration capacity of the soil in the area is 0.013m per hour, the time constant as 0.43 per hour, and the final capacity of soil for infiltration is 0.013mm per min. Use the Horton's equation in getting the infiltration capacity of soil in mm/hr at 12am of December 14.
