How does high-permeability rocks lead to a water table that is not very high and that has a nearly horizontal top surface?
Homework Answers
Permeability is defined as the interconnected pore space present in the rock.High permeability means more of the pore space are connected. Now in high permeability rocks what happen is that the water which is present in the rocks is flows rapidly as the permeability is high And distributed all along the rock. Thus the water is distributed all along the rock equally so the water table is not found in very high and the top of the water table is nearly horizontal.

Two rocks are thrown simultaneously from the top of a very tall
tower with identical speeds of v = 4.70 m/s, but in two different
directions. (See figure below.)
One of them is thrown with an angle of 10.0 degrees below the
horizontal, the other one at an angle of 50.0 degrees above the
horizontal. How far will the rocks be from each other after 4.50 s?
(Neglect air resistance and assume that the rocks will not hit the
ground.)

Lead component in water alters the flavor and high concentration of lead can pose a serious health hazard. Ten pairs of data were taken measuring lead concentration in bottom water and surface water. Does the data suggest that the true average concentration in the bottom water is different than that of surface water? The results of the study are shown below.

You are standing in a 1.5-m-deep swimming pool at night. The water is very still. You hold a laser pointer just above the water's surface and shine it nearly parallel to the surface, but tilted slightly down so that the beam enters the water 3.5mfrom you. How far from you does the beam strike the bottom of the pool? Index of refraction of the water is 1.33.

Two rocks are thrown from the top of a very tall tower. One of them is thrown vertically up with an initial velocity of Vup=19.7 m/s. The other rock is thrown horizontally to the right with an initial velocity of Vright 12.7 m/s. (See figure.) How far will the rocks be from each other after 2.76 s? (Neglect air resistance and assume that the rocks will not hit the ground or the tower.)

How does grain angularity and grain size distribution affect a soil's permeability? (Assume the average grain size corresponds to a medium sand) Angular grains in a well graded sand result in greater permeability than rounded grains in a poorly graded sand The angularity of the grains has no effect on the permeability of a soil The grain size distribution of a soil has no effect on its permeability Angular grains in a well graded sand result in lower permeability than...

Two rocks are thrown from the top of a very tall tower. One of them is thrown horizontally to the left with an initial velocity of Vieft = 15.4 m/s. The other rock is thrown horizontally to the right with an initial velocity of Vright = 13.0 m/s. (See figure.) How far will the rocks be from each other after 5.88 s?

A 4m high, vertical retaining wall supports Silty SAND backfill with a horizontal surface. There is a hydrostatic horizontal water table at 1 m below the ground surface. The soil has bulk unit weight = 20 kN/m3, effective cohesion=5 kPa, and friction angle= 30o. What is the value of the water force on the wall? At what distance above the base of the wall does it act?
