[amp_mcq option1=”viscosity only” option2=”unit weight only” option3=”both viscosity and unit weight” option4=”none of the above” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is C. both viscosity and unit weight.<\/p>\n
Permeability is the ability of a porous material to allow fluids to flow through it. The physical properties of a permeant that influence permeability are viscosity and unit weight.<\/p>\n
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid to flow. The higher the viscosity, the more resistance there is to flow. This means that fluids with high viscosity will have lower permeability than fluids with low viscosity.<\/p>\n
Unit weight is a measure of the weight of a unit volume of a material. The higher the unit weight, the more weight there is per unit volume. This means that materials with high unit weight will have lower permeability than materials with low unit weight.<\/p>\n
