  1. The flow net constructed for the dam is shown in the figure below. Taking the coefficient of permeability as 3.8 × 10–6 m/s, the quantity of flow (in cm3 /s) under the dam per meter of dam is __________.
    1. 7.182 cm3 /s/m
    2. 7.005 cm2 /s/m
    3. 7.958 cm4 /s/m
    4. 6 cm3 /s/m
Correct Option: A

7.1 to 7.85
No. of flow channels, Nf = 3
No. of equipotential lines, Nd = 10
K = 3.8 × 10–6 m/s
H = 6.3 m

= 3.8 × 10–6 × 6.3 ×
3
10

= 7.182 × 10–6 m3 /s/m
= 7.182 cm3 /s/m
