Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering
In a fow net
flow lines and equipotential lines cross each other at right angles
fields are rectangles whose length is twice the breadth
smaller the dimensions of the field, smaller will be the hydraulic gradient and velocity of flow through it
for homogeneous soil, the curves are smooth and circular.
Correct Answer:
flow lines and equipotential lines cross each other at right angles
