Question 2: After conduct an experiment, you found that the soil for the watershed have an initial rate of infiltration equal to 1.35 in./hr and a final capacity of 0.3 in./hr. Assuming that the time constant k = 0.4, calculate the soil infiltration capacity at the times 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr, and 6 hr using Horton's equation.
