From a flow-net diagram drawn under a concrete dam, following information are obtained:

(i) The head difference between upstream and downstream side of the dam is 9 m .

(ii) The total number of equipotential drops between upstream and downstream side of the dam is 10 .

(iii) The length of the field nearest to the toe of the dam in the downstream side is 1 m .

If the soil below the dam is having a saturated unit weight of $21 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^3$ and unit weight of water is $9.81 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^3$, then the factor of safety against the quick condition will be __________ (round off to two decimal places).

Two soils of permeabilities $\mathrm{k}_1$ and $\mathrm{k}_2$ are placed in a horizontal flow apparatus, as shown in the figure. For Soil 1, $L_1=50 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $k_1=0.055 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$; for Soil 2, $L_2=30 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $\mathrm{k}_2=0.035 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$. The cross sectional area of the horizontal pipe is $100 \mathrm{~cm}^2$, and the head difference ( $\Delta \mathrm{h}$ ) is 150 cm . The discharge (in $\mathrm{cm}^3 / \mathrm{s}$ ) through the soils is ________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
