Q6. Calculate the reduced level (m) of a point A, if the staff reading at point A and Benchmark are 2.9 m and 2.6 m respectively. The reduced level of the benchmark is 100 m.
(a) 97.22
(b) 100.3
(c) 105.3
(d) 99.7

SOLUTION

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given,
BOD of stream (BOD_s) = 200 mg/l
Flow rate of stream (Q_s ) = 50 m^3/sec.
BOD of river (BOD_R ) = 8 mg/l
Flow rate of river (Q_R ) = 500 mg/l
(BOD_mix ) = ?
Now,
BOD_mix=(50×200+500×8)/(50+500)
= 25.45 mg/l

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Self-cleansing velocity is such flow velocity as would be sufficient to flush out any deposited solids in the sewer. A sewer is commonly designed to attain the self-cleansing velocity at minimum hourly rate of flow.

S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Intercepting trap is used to prevent entry of foul sewer gases into the water closet by providing a water seal.

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Pull correction → ±(P_f-P_s )L/AE
Sag correction → (-l)/24 (W/P)^2
Temperature correction → ±∝(T_f-T_s )L
Mean sea level correction → ±L(1-h/R)

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Since difference of F.B and B.B of line AB differs by 180°. Hence both stations A and B are unaffected by local attraction and station C and D are affected by local attraction.

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol.

Height of collimation of instrument at station P
= RL of Benchmark + B.S. of Benchmark
= 100 + 2.6
= 102.6 m.
RL of A = Height of collimation at P – F.S. at A
= 102.6 – 2.9
= 99.7 m.
