Question

Seema conducted an experiment in the field related to rate of percolation. She observed that it took 30 minutes for 240 ml of water to percolate through the soil. Calculate the rate of percolation

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.
