If 100mL water percolates in soil 3 in 300 minutes, what is the percolation rate in mL/min? (Type your answer up to 2 decimal places)___

Solution

The percolation rate is the amount of water that trickles into the soil in a given time. It is calculated as follows:

Percolation rate = $\frac{Amount of water percolated(mL)}{Time taken(minutes)}$

Given:

Amount of water percolated = 100 mL

Time taken to percolate = 300 min

Percolation rate = $\frac{100 m L}{300 m i n}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ = $0.33 m L / m i n$

Thus, percolation rate is $0.33 m L / m i n$ .
