The figure shows a soil in a tube with two cross sectional area: Au = 14 cm and A, 7 cm. Water is supplied to maintain a constant- head difference across the sample. The hydraulic conductivity of the soil in the direction of flow is 1.2 x 10 m/sec, and the porosity (n) = 0.3 a. Determine the rate of seepage through the soil. b. Calculate the actual velocity of flow through the upper and 10 cm 2 cm 8 cm 10 cm lower sections of the soil. $2 cm Datum
