Solution

The incorrect statement is: "Bernoulli’s proposed that average flow velocity through soils is proportional to the gradient of the total head." This is not correct because it was Darcy, not Bernoulli, who proposed that the average flow velocity through soils is proportional to the gradient of the total head. This principle is known as Darcy's Law.

The figure below shows a flow net for the flow under a concrete dam.  The soil surface is at the same elevation on both sides of the dam. If the retained height of water behind the dam, L, is 12.5 m, the flow rate is 0.06 m3/day/m and the soil is isotropic and homogeneous, Flag question: Question 1Question 11 ptsWhat is the permeability of the soil (in m/day)?

Water is flowing at the rate of 144 m³/hr through a 1 km long and 120 mm diameter pipe. If the head loss is 7 m of water, find the wall roughness of pipe in millimeters. If the roughness is doubled, estimate the percentage increase in head loss. (Viscosity of water is 1.02 × 10-3 Ns/m²)
