Question

100ml of water takes 10 minutes to percolate completely in the soil.Calculate the percolation rate of water in the soil.

Answer 1

10 ml per minute
As 100/10 = 10

Answer 2

we know that the ,

volume of water percolated in a soil (ml)

_______________________________

time taken for this percolation ( min)

so percolation rate of water in soil (ml/min)

=100ml/10 min                                                                100 / 10( cutting method)

=10

thus the percolation rate of water in this soil is 10 milliliters per min
