1. A soil sample is placed on a saturated porous plate and then subjected to a series of manipulations. Determine the equilibrium matric potential at the midpoint of the soil sample (in your choice of unit system) at each step in the sequence.
Notes-
-No evaporation
-Surrounding air pressure=1 atm
-Π = 4.9 x 104 Pascal
2. The following system is at equilibrium. Find the water pressure term (h or p) of the total soil water potential at point A and point B. You may express your response in either energy/volume or energy/weight of water.
