(20 cm)(0.004 cm/sec)
8 cm =
(10 cm )⎛⎜ 0.004 cm/sec + k2 cm/sec ⎞⎟
⎝ 10 cm 15 cm ⎠

k2 = 0.009 cm/sec


8.2 The flow net is shown.
k = 4 × 10-4 cm/sec
H = H1 – H2
= 6.0 – 1.5 = 4.5 m.

8.4 Based on the notations in Figure 8.10:

H = (4 – 1.5) m = 2.5 m; S = D = 3.6 m; T ' = D1 = 6 m; S/T ' = 3.6/6 = 0.6

8.6 Refer to the flow net given in Problem 8.5 and the figure on the next page.

The flow net has 12 potential drops. Also, H = 10 m. So the head loss for each

drop = (10/12) m. Thus,
