Water moves from the soil (water potential \(\Psi_{soil} = -0.2\) MPa) into root cells (water potential \(\Psi_{root} = -0.5\) MPa). The hydraulic conductivity of the root membrane is \(L_p = 5 \times 10^{-8}\) m\(^3\)·s\(^{-1}\)·MPa\(^{-1}\). Calculate the volume flow rate of water into the root per second.
