P 4: A sand sample of 35cm2 cross sectional area and 20cm long was tested in a constant head permeameter. Under a head of 60cm, the discharge was 120ml in 6min. The dry weight of sand used for the test was 1120g, and G,=2.68. Determine (a) the hydraulic conductivity in cm/s, (b) the discharge velocity, and (c) the seepage velocity. Answers: a) 3.174 x 103 cm/s, b) 9.52 x 10 cm/s, c) 2.36 x 102 cm/s
