Calculate the rate of percolation of a given soil sample if it takes 14 minutes for 980 ml of water to percolate through it.

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,

Amount of water = 980 mL

Time taken by soil to percolate water = 14 min.

Rate of percolation = Amount of water / Time taken

Rate = 980 / 14 = 70 mL/min

Regards

Dear student, Amount of water = 980 mL Time taken by soil to percolate water = 14 min. Rate of percolation = Amount of water / Time taken Rate = 980 / 14 = 70 mL/min Regards

Dear student,

Amount of water = 980 mL

Time taken by soil to percolate water = 14 min.

Rate of percolation = Amount of water / Time taken

Rate = 980 / 14 = 70 mL/min
