Solutions
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol.
| Discharge (m³/sec.) | Freeboard (m.) |
| 1 to 5 | 0.50 |
| 5 to 10 | 0.60 |
| 10 to 30 | 0.75 |
| 30 to 150 | 0.90 |
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Angle of the failure plane with the major principal plane is
[45+ϕ/2]
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Class A → Eminently hydraulic lime
Class B → Semi-hydraulic lime
Class C → Fat lime
Class D → Dolomite lime
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given; E = 200 N/mm², G = ?
μ = 0.25
we know that,
E=2G(1+μ)
200=2G(1+0.25)
100=G(1.25)
G=80 N\/mm^2
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. True length of chain (l) = 20 m.
Actual length of chain (l) = 20.2m.
Measured length of line (L’) = 2380m.
Total correction required (C) =?
C=L^’ ((l^’-l)/l)
=2380((20.2-20)/20)
=2380×0.01
=23.8 m.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Lacey’s theory is applicable to flow in alluvial rivers and canals.
