SOLUTION
S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. Height of hydraulic jump equal to difference in conjugate or sequent depth. Conjugate depth having same specific force
S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. During the formation of hydraulic jump specific energy decreases and specific force remains constant
S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. Classification of hydraulic jump –
Jump Froude Number
Undular Jump 1 to 1.7
Weak Jump 1.7 to 2.5
Oscillating Jump 2.5 to 4.5
Steady Jump 4.5 to 9
Strong Jump > 9
S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. y_2/y_1 = 10.30
y_2/y_1 = (-1+√(1+8 Fr_1^2 ))/2
10.30 = (-1+√(1+8 ×Fr_1^2 ))/2
Fr_1^2 = 7.62
S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. Mannings formula –
v=1/n R^(2/3) S^(1/2)
n → Manning Coefficient
S6. Ans. (d)
Sol. Critical depth (y_c) = 1.5m
Specific Energy (E_c) = ?
E_c = 3/2 y_c
= 3/2 × 1.5
E_c = 2.25 m
S7. Ans. (b)
Sol. For most efficient triangular channel
Hydraulic Radiaus (R) = y/(2√2)
R=y/√8
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. Riveting is done at atmospheric temperature by large pressure such rivet called cold driven rivets. When rivet’s are heated before driving that such rivet are called hot driven rivets. Cold driven rivets are used for 12 mm to 22 mm diameter.
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. when a steel member is designed with a consideration for failure governed by buckling then partial factor of safety should be taken as 1.10.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. When a steel beam is carrying just its self load and it needs to be supported on two column (span length, L) with equal overhangs (Y) on both the sides such that the bending moment at the mid span is zero, then the ratio of L/y should be 2.00.
