(a) Increase in setting time by about 1 hr.
(b) Increase in setting time by about 4 hr.
(c) Decrease in setting time by about 1 hr.
(d) Decrease in setting time by about 4 hr.

(a) 11.4
(b) 11.5
(c) 11.6
(d) 11.1

Q6. A tube well having a capacity of 4 m³/hour operates for 20 hours each day during the irrigation season. How much area can be commanded if the irrigation interval is 20 days and depth of irrigation is 7 cm?
(a) 1.71 × 10^4 m²
(b) 1.14 × 10^4 m²
(c) 22.9 × 10^4 m²
(d) 2.29 × 10^4 m²

SOLUTION

S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. Pressure of oil = Pressure of water
(ρgh ) oil = (ρgh) water
(0.85 × 1000 × 9.81× h) = (1000 × 9.81 × 42.5)

h = 50 m

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Low heat cement is preferred to construct a massive concrete dam because it has less heat of hydration.

S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Calcium chloride is used as accelerators. it decrease the setting time of concrete and Increase shrinkage of concrete.

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Sugar is used as retarder in concrete. It increase in setting time by about 4 hr.

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. given, loss in weight = 25 gm
▭(coefficient of hardness= 20-(loss in weight in gm.)/3)
=20-25/3
=11.6

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Q = 4 × 20 = 80 m³/day
Q = 9.26 × 10^(-4) m³/sec
B = 20 days
∆ = 7 cm. = 0.07 m.
Duty of outlet
D = (8.64 B)/∆
D = (8.64×20)/0.07
D = 2468 Ha/cumec
Area (A) = D ×Q
= 2468 × 9.26 × 10^(-4)
= 2.296 Ha
= 2.29 × 10^4 m²
