The hydrostatic pressure in terms of piezometric head can be calculated from which of the following equation?

(a) hW = h – Z

(b) hW = h + Z

(c) hW = u/γW

(d) hW = h/z

I got this question in final exam.

Best answer
Correct choice is (a) hW = h – Z

Easy explanation: The equation hW=h – Z, can be used to plot pressure net representing lines of equal water pressure without the saturated soil mass since all the three quantities in the equation can be expressed a the percentage of total hydraulic head H.
