Question

Rahul conducted an experiment in his garden to study the rate of percolation of water. He observed that it took 20 minutes for 200 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 = 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.
