Chapter 7 Permeability - Example 3: Rate of Seepage

[@alfayedsani1017]

Arent the area supposed to be in m^2?
Aren't you suppose to multiply Hcos(8) with something with meter as unit to make it m^2 ?
So that when you solve for q you'll get m^3/hr as unit?

Exactly what I was thinking

[@mauricemuleba5179]

We assume the width of the cross section is 1 meter and multiply it with Hcos(8) to obtain the area in m^2
