Question 1.
What is a flow line?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the path followed by water.
Question 2.
True or False: Equipotential lines can intersect.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what it means for a line of equal head.
3Question 3.
What do flow lines represent?
- Direction of fluid flow
- Area of fluid flow
- Intensity of fluid flow
Show hintHide hint
Remember what direction implies.
4Question 4.
True or False: Equipotential lines allow fluid flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what the presence of a gradient means for movement.
Question 5.
Given a permeable soil sample with k = 5 m/day, calculate the expected flow rate through a 100m long sample with a head drop of 20m.
Show hintHide hint
Plug the variables into the formula correctly.
Question 6.
A construction site needs to estimate the flow change if the head drop increases from 2m to 10m across 8 flow channels, assuming permeability remains at 15 m/day.
Show hintHide hint
Pay attention to how head changes impact flow.
