Question

In an experiment it was found that it took 15 mins for 300 ml of water to percolate through a soil sample. Calculate the rate of percolation of water for the soil sample​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.
