Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil sample has a permeability coefficient (k) of 0.02 m/s. If water flows through the sample at a constant hydraulic head of 1 meter, how much water will flow through a 1 square meter area in one hour?

💡 Hint: Consider the conversion between seconds and hours in your calculation.

Question 2

A constant head test is done on a soil which reveals a flow of 0.5 m³ in 10 minutes at a head of 1 m. If the cross-sectional area was 0.1 m², calculate the coefficient of permeability.

💡 Hint: Convert time from minutes to seconds as needed for your calculations.
