Water is flowing at a steady rate through a homogeneous and saturated horizontal soil strip of 10 m length. The strip is being subjected to a constant water head (H) of 5 m at the beginning and 1 m at the end. If the governing equation of d²H flow in the soil strip =0 is (where, .2 dx? x is the distance dx along the soil strip), the value of H (in m) at the middle of the strip is
