Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using Lacey’s velocity equation, if the flow discharge (Q_f) is 210 cumecs, calculate the mean velocity.

💡 Hint: Insert the value of Q_f into the velocity equation.

Question 2

Calculate the hydraulic radius when Q is 120 cumecs and V is previously calculated as 1.2 m/s using Lacey’s formula.

💡 Hint: Use the hydraulic radius formula and ensure you have f before attempting.
