In a constant-pressure cake filtration with an incompressible cake layer, the volume of the filtrate (V) is measured as a function of time t. The plot of t/V versus V results in a straight line with an intercept of 10^4 s/m^3. The area of the filter is 0.05 m^2, the viscosity of the filtrate is 10^-3 Pa s, and the overall pressure drop across the filter is 200 kPa. The value of the filter-medium resistance (in m^-1 ) is:

• 10^9

• 10^11

• 10^12

• 10^10
