Q. Which type of force is needed for suspension of suspended load in flowing water?

View solution

Q. A part of tractive force does not have any part in transporting the bed material, i. e bed load.

View solution

Q. Given that the bed slope of a channel is 1 in 2000 and the discharge is 60 cumecs. The depth of the channel is fixed and is given as 2 m. The tractive force needed for the movement of bedload is? Take critical velocity ratio as 1.1.

Q. Which of the following statement is wrong?

View solution

Q. For the bed of the canal, the average shear stress is equal to the tractive force per unit area.

View solution

Q. A wide unlined channel carrying silt-free water has a depth of 2.0 m. The maximum slope that can be given to a channel is 1 in 10,000. Calculate the maximum tractive stress permissible on the bed to prevent scouring.

View solution

Q. The water flows at a depth of 0.6 m in a wide stream having a bed slope of 1 in 2500. The critical tractive stress is 0.53 N/m². Determine the motion of soil grains and the average shear stress.

Q. Whose equation was the first on the rate of bed load transport?

View solution

Q. Which of the following statement is not correct about Einstein’s theory?

View solution

Q. If the width of a river increases, the discharge per unit width will decrease and therefore, sediment carrying capacity will increase.
