(a) 174 m
(b) 5.2 m
(c) 1.7 m
(d) None of these

Q4. While designing a hydraulic structure, the piezometric head at bottom of the floor is computed as 10m. The datum is 3 m below floor bottom. The assured standing water depth above the floor is 2 m. The specific gravity of the floor material is 2.5 The floor thickness should be

(b) 3.33 m
(c) 4.40 m
(d) 6.00 m

Q5. The average rainfall for a 3 hour duration storm is 2.7 cm and the loss rate is 0.3 cm/hr. The flood hydrograph has a base flow of 20 m³/s and produces a peak flow of 210 m³/s. The peak of a 3-h unit hydrograph is

(b) 105.50 m³/s
(c) 77.77 m³/s
(d) 70.37 m³/s

Q6. In a river, discharge is 173 m³/s; water surface slope is 1 in 6000; and stage at the gauge station is 10.0 m. If during a flood, the stage at the gauge station is same and the water surface slope is 1 in 2000, the flood discharge in m³/s, is approximately
(a) 371
(b) 100
(c) 519
(d) 300

SOLUTION

S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Given, Radius of curve (R) = 260 m.
Deflection angle (∆) = 90°
Length of Long chord is given by–
T₁DT₂ = 2R sin ∆/2
= 2 × 260 × sin 90/2
▭(T_1 DT_2=367.7 m)

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. The purpose of conducting the resection method in the plane table surveying is to determine the location of the instrument point.

S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. y_1 = 1 m.
y_2 = 6 m.
Head loss (h_L) = ((y_2-y_1)³)/(4y_1 y_2 )
= ((6-1)³)/(4 × 6 ×1)

h_L = 5.20 m

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Floor thickness,
t=h/(G-1)
h = 10 – (3 + 2) = 5 m
t=5/(2.5-1)=3.33 m.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Rainfall excess = 2.7 – (0.3 × 3)
= 1.8 cm.
Peak discharge of direct runoff hydrograph
= 210 – 20
= 190 m³/sec
Peak of 3-hour unit hydrograph =
=190/1.8=105.55 m^3/sec

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Q₁ = 173 m³/sec
S₁ = 1 in 6000
S₂ = 1 in 2000
Q₂ = ?
(By manning^’ eq^n)/(Q=1/n AR^(2/3) S^(1/2) )
Q ∝√S
Q_1/Q_2 =√((S₁)/(S₂))
173/Q_2 =√((1/6000)/(1/2000))
▭(Q_2=299.64≈300 m^3/sec)
