This problem involves calculating the time required for the water level in a permeameter to drop from 25 cm to 10 cm, given the soil properties and dimensions. We'll need to use Darcy's Law to solve this. However, the problem statement is incomplete; the thickness (X) of the third layer is missing. We'll solve it assuming a value for X, and then show how to adapt the solution if X is provided.**Assumptions:*** **Steady-state flow:** We assume the flow rate is constant during the time interval. This is a simplification, as the flow rate will decrease as the head decreases.* **Homogenous layers:** While the problem states the soil is heterogeneous, we'll treat each layer as homogenous with the given permeability.* **Value of X:** We'll assume a thickness (X) of 6 cm for the third layer for the sake of calculation. If a different value is provided, simply substitute that value into the final equation.**1. Calculate the equivalent permeability (k_eq) for the three layers:**For layers in series, the equivalent permeability is calculated as:1/k_eq = (L1/k1) + (L2/k2) + (L3/k3)Where:* L1, L2, L3 are the thicknesses of layers 1, 2, and 3 respectively.* k1, k2, k3 are the permeabilities of layers 1, 2, and 3 respectively.Substituting the given values (assuming X = 6 cm):1/k_eq = (6 cm / (3 x 10⁻⁴ cm/s)) + (6 cm / (4 x 10⁻⁴ cm/s)) + (6 cm / (6 x 10⁻⁴ cm/s))1/k_eq = 20000 s/cm + 15000 s/cm + 10000 s/cm = 45000 s/cmk_eq = 2.22 x 10⁻⁵ cm/s**2. Apply Darcy's Law:**Darcy's Law states: Q = k_eq * A * (h1 - h2) / LWhere:* Q is the flow rate (volume/time)* A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe (2 cm²)* h1 is the initial head (25 cm)* h2 is the final head (10 cm)* L is the total thickness of the soil layers (6 cm + 6 cm + 6 cm = 18 cm)Substituting the values:Q = (2.22 x 10⁻⁵ cm/s) * (2 cm²) * (25 cm - 10 cm) / (18 cm)Q ≈ 3.7 x 10⁻⁵ cm³/s**3. Calculate the volume of water drained:**The volume of water drained from the standpipe is given by:V = A_standpipe * (h1 - h2)Where A_standpipe is the cross-sectional area of the standpipe (22 cm²)V = 22 cm² * (25 cm - 10 cm) = 330 cm³**4. Calculate the time required:**Time (t) = Volume (V) / Flow rate (Q)t = 330 cm³ / (3.7 x 10⁻⁵ cm³/s) t ≈ 8.92 x 10⁶ sConverting seconds to hours:t ≈ 8.92 x 10⁶ s * (1 min / 60 s) * (1 hr / 60 min) ≈ 2478 hours**Therefore, assuming a thickness of 6 cm for the third layer, the time required is approximately 2478 hours.** If a different thickness (X) is given for the third layer, recalculate k_eq using the formula in step 1 and repeat steps 2-4 with the new value of k_eq. Remember that this calculation assumes steady-state flow, which is an approximation.
