SWS 3022 Exam 1 Exam Questions with Answers If point A in a soil has a total potential energy of -100 cm, and point B has a total potential of -300 cm, and the distance between the points is 20 cm, and the hydraulic conductivity is 2 cm/hr, what is the total flow, Q, between the points? - Answer-20 cm/hr 300-100 = 200/20 = 10*2 = 20 Two points in the soil are both exactly 10 cm below the soil surface and are 20 cm apart. The capillary potential energy at point A is -200 cm and at point B i...
