(b) 9.83
(c) 8.93
(d) 6.83

(b) Duration of flooding and ground level elevation
(c) Duration of water supply in a city and proportion of area receiving supply exceeding this duration
(d) Flow rate and duration of time taken to empty a reservoir at that flow rate

(a) 0.70
(b) 0.80
(c) 1.00
(d) 1.20
Q5. A channel bed slope 0.0009 carries a discharge of 30 m³/s when the depth of flow is 1.0m. what is the discharge carried by an exactly similar channel at the same depth of flow if the slope is decreased to 0.0001?
(a) 10 m³/s
(b) 15 m³/s
(c) 60 m³/s
(d) 90 m³/s
Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. SI unit of kinematic viscosity = m²/sec
∴ Dimension of kinematic viscosity = L^2/T
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Specific weight of ice-berg = (1-0.15) × 10.5
= 0.85 × 10.5
= 8.93 kN/m³
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. A conventional flow duration curve is a plot between Flow and percentage time flow is exceeded.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. h=8m,Z=10m.
C=0
ϕ=35°
β=30°
y_d=16kN\/m^3
y_sat=20kN\/m^3
Assume:-y_w=10kN\/m^3
Factor of safety (F_s )
F_s=[1-(y_w h)/(y_sat Z)] Tanϕ/Tanβ
= [1-(10×8)/(20×10)] Tan35/Tan30
▭(F_s=0.73)
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol.
Q_1= 30 m³/sec
S_1 = 0.009
Q_2 = ?
S_2 = 0.0001
→ similar channel means that area and wetted perimeter are same.
Q_2/Q_1 =√(S_2/S_1 )
Q_2/30=√(0.0001/0.0009)
▭(Q_2=10 m^3 \/sec)
