For a homogeneous earth dam 50 m high having 2 m free broad, a flow net was constructed and the results were : Number of potential drops = 2.4 Number of flow channels = 0.4. If coefficiency of permeability of the dam mateiral is 3 x 10-3 cm3/sec, the discharge per metre length of dam, is

The discharge PER METER is asked, so the calculated answer must be divided by 100
since 1m=100cm.
So, the given units and given answer are correct.
since 1m=100cm.
So, the given units and given answer are correct.

K will be in cm/sec.
It is unit of the coefficient of permeability.
It is unit of the coefficient of permeability.

q = kh (Nf/Nd) you will get the answer.

K unit is same as velocity cm/sec.

Yes, 200 % k value is cm/sec.

As I know the coefficient of permeability's unit is cm/s.

K = 3 * 10^3 cm per sec (convert this to metre) = 3 * 10^5m per sec.
Q = Kh (Nf/Nd) , after putting the values, we get 24 * 10^5.
Q = Kh (Nf/Nd) , after putting the values, we get 24 * 10^5.

We know discharge (Q) = kH x number of flow channel/ number of Drops.
Where k = coeff of permeability and H = water head.
Where k = coeff of permeability and H = water head.

The unit of k is cm^2 per second.
