23.
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
12 x 10-5 m3/sec
24 x 10-3 m3/sec
6 x 10-5 m3/sec
24 x 10-5 m3/sec

q = kh(Nf/Nd).

= 3*10^-3*48*(0.4/2.4).

= 24*10^-5.
