Direction: Water is following through the permeability apparatus as shown in the figure. The coefficient of permeability of the soil is k m/s and the porosity of the soil sample is 0.50.

  1. What are discharge velocity and seepage velocity through the soil sample?
    1. k, 2k
    2. 2/3k, 4/3k
    3. 2k, k
    4. 4/3k, 2/3k
Correct Option: A

Discharge velocity, v = ki = k m/s (i = 1)
seepage velocity,

=
v
=
k
= 2 km/s
η0.5
