3. A permeameter is filled with sand. When water is allowed to flow through the device, a flow rate of Q.er = 10 cm'/s is observed. The sand is dried and filled with oil. The total hydraulic head at the inflow and outflow ends of the permeameter are the same in both tests. Calculate the flow rate of oil Qol. Data: puil=0.9 pwaer Hlail = 1.8 lue
