Razia conducted an experiment in the field related to the rate of percolation. She observed that it took 40 min for 200 mL of water to percolate through the soil sample. Calculate the rate of percolation.
Open in App
Solution
Given,
Amount of water = 200 mL
Percolation time = 40min
Rate of percolation = Amount of water in mL / Percolation time in min
=200 / 40
=5 mL/min.
Hence, the rate of percolation of water through the given soil sample is 5 mL/min.
