A field sample of an unconfined aquifer is packed in a test cylinder. The length and diameter of the cylinder are 50 cm and 6 cm

respectively. The field sample is tested for a period of three minutes under a constant head difference of 16.3 cm. As a result, 45.2 cm3 of water is collected at the outlet. Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer sample.
