Question

Suppose certain sample takes 120 min for 960 mL water to percolate into the soil. Calculate the rate of percolation of water.

Answer 1

Answer:

8 ML / min is the rate of percolation of water.

Explanation:

LET THE rate of percolation of water BE X

120 X = 960

X = 960/120

X = 8 ML

Answer 2

Given: Sample takes 120 min for 960 mL water to percolate into the soil

To Find: Rate of percolation of water

Solution:

The rate of percolation is a quantity used to define the amount of water a particular substance can hold or the water holding capacity of a substance.

The rate of percolation can be defined by the following formula

Rate of percolation = Water percolated / Time taken for the water to percolate

Rate of percolation = 960ml / 120min

                                = 8ml/min

Therefore, the rate of percolation of the sample is 8ml/min.
