Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If a model has a horizontal scale of 1/300 and a vertical scale of 1/75, and a river has a discharge of 200 m³/s, calculate the model discharge.

💡 Hint: Keep track of your ratios and remember to square the height ratio!

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the Manning's roughness ratio if the model's vertical scale is h_r = 1/60, and the prototype's roughness is n_p = 0.03.

💡 Hint: Ensure proper use of exponents while calculating.
