Question

200ml of water takes 50 minutes to percolate completely in a particular soil. Calculate the percolation rate of water in the soil.

Answer 1

Answer:

Percolation rate (ml/min) = amount of water (ml) / percolation time (min). For example, If 200 ml of water is percolated through the soil sample in 40 min.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

Amount of water = 200 mL

Percolation time = 50min

Rate of percolation = Amount of water in mL / Percolation time in min

                                =200 / 50

                                =5 mL/min.

Hence, the rate of percolation of water through the given soil sample is 6 mL/min.
