1.A 50cm^3 sample of dry soil from an aquifer weighs 100g. when it is poured into a graduated cylinder, it displaces 35cm^3 of water. What is the porosity of the soil? What is the average density of the actual solids contained in the soil?

2.Water in a rectangular channel flows into a gradual contraction section. If the flowrate is Q = 25 ft^3/s and the upstream depth is 2 ft, determine the downstream depth. Sketch the specific energy diagram and indicate its important characteristics. Note that the specific discharges are different.
