  1. The figure below shows two flow lines for seepage across an interface between two soil media of different co-efficient of permeability. If entrance angle α1 = 30°, the exit angle α2 will be
    1. 7.50°
    2. 14.03°
    3. 66.59°
    4. 75.96°
Correct Option: C

tanθ1
=
k1
tanθ2k2

tan30
=
1 × 10-7
tanθ24 × 10-7

∴ tanθ2 = 4 × tan30
∴ θ2 = 66.59°
