A flood occurs in the main channel having a trapezoidal section with a base width of 4.5 m. If the channel is designed to carry a mean velocity of 1.2 m/s, compute the discharge capacity of the canal in m^3/s using the following conditions:

 

  1. When one side of the canal is vertical

and the other sloping at an angle

of 45 to the power of 0.The depth is

3/4 of the base width.

 

Choices: A.) 33.41   B.)13.16  C.)31.56  D.)18.34  E.)25.06 F.)50.32

 

2. When canal has a most economical

trapezoidal section.

 

Choices: A.) 33.41   B.)13.16  C.)31.56  D.)18.34  E.)25.06 F.)50.32

 

3. When the canal is designed for minimum

seepage. The sides of the trapezoidal

canal slopes an angle of 60 .

For min: seepage: b = 4dtan (theta/2)

 

Choices: A.) 33.41   B.)13.16  C.)31.56  D.)18.34  E.)25.06 F.)50.32
