Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What is the formula for calculating the velocity in Lacey's equation?
- V = k * f^(1/2) * R^(2/3)
- V = Q/A
- V = P/Q
💡 Hint: Recall how velocity interrelates with silt and hydraulic conditions.
Question 2
True or False: The Silt Factor is related to channel design but not to sediment size.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think of the definition of the silt factor in context.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If you are designing a channel with a mean sediment size of 2mm, what is the silt factor? How would this affect the channel’s velocity?
💡 Hint: Use the silt factor equation to find your answer.
Question 2
A channel is found to have a discharge of 10 m³/s with a velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate the area and describe how changes in area affect the design.
💡 Hint: Identify what happens when the area is adjusted in channel properties.
