Calculate the following examples.

1. Ramji conducted an experiment in the field related to the rate of percolation. He observed that it took 30 minutes for 600 ml of water to percolate through the soil. Calculate the rate of percolation per hour.

2. Jigna takes 50g of dry powdered soil in a filter paper and slowly adds water to the soil from a 100 ml fully filled measuring cylinder. When water starts dripping from the filter paper, 60 ml of water is left in the measuring cylinder. Find out the percentage of water absorbed by the soil.​

1) The rate of percolation would be 0.33 ml/s

Percolation rate = volume of water/time

                             =  600/1800s

                              = 0.33 ml/s

2) The percentage of water absorbed would be 40%

Percentage of water absorbed = amount absorbed/total water x 100

                         

                 amount of water absorbed = 100 - 60

                                                      = 40 ml

                  total amount of water = 100 ml

   Percentage of water absorbed = 40/100 x 100

                                                       = 40%
