The following figure shows the layers of soil in a tube 10 cm by 10 cm in cross section. Water is supplied to maintain a constant head difference of 30 cm across the sample. Compute the system flow rate. The permeability coefficients of the soils are as follows: The table represents the permeability coefficients \( K \) (in cm/sec) for different soil types. - **Soil A**: \( K = 1 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{cm/sec} \)- **Soil B**: \( K = 3 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{cm/sec} \)- **Soil C**: \( K = 5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{cm/sec} \)The permeability coefficient indicates how easily water can pass through the soil. Higher values mean the soil is more permeable, allowing water to flow through faster. In this context, Soil A is the most permeable, followed by Soil B, and Soil C is the least permeable. The image presents a diagram comprised of three vertical sections and a horizontal central segment. It is likely used to teach basic geometry or as part of a problem-solving exercise involving areas and volumes.1. **Overall Structure:** - The diagram is divided into three main sections: a central horizontal rectangle flanked by two vertical rectangles of equal height on each side.2. **Central Rectangle (labeled A):** - The middle rectangle represents section A and is colored in light orange. - It has a total length of 30 cm and a height of 5 cm.3. **Vertical Rectangles:** - Each vertical rectangle on the sides is colored in blue. - They have a width of 10 cm and a height of 10 cm, oriented perpendicular to section A.4. **Smaller Rectangles (labeled B and C):** - To the right of section A, there are two smaller stacked rectangles. - Rectangle B is above rectangle C. - Both are each 15 cm long and 5 cm high, fitting the overall height of 10 cm. - Rectangle B is colored light green, and rectangle C is colored yellow.5. **Measurements:** - Dimensions are marked with blue arrows and text. - The horizontal lengths of sections A, B, and C are each 15 cm, adding up to a total length of 30 cm.This diagram can be used to visualize and solve problems involving area calculation by breaking the complex shape into simpler components.
