Question

Arunima conducted an experiment in the field related to the rate of percolation. She observed that it
took 50 min for 250 mL of water to percolate through the soil sample. Calculate the rate of percolation.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given,

Amount of water = 200 mL

Percolation time = 50min

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

=200 / 50

=4 mL/min.

•Hence, the rate of percolation of water through the given soil sample is 4 mL/min
