4.
A rectangular channel 6 m wide and 3 m deep and having a bed slope as 1 in 2000 is running full. If Chezy's constant C = 54.8, pick up the correct specification of the channel from the following :
hydraulic mean depth = 1.5 m
Velocity of flow = 1.5 m/sec
Rate of flow = 27 m3/sec
All the above.

Perimeter of rectangular = b + 2h.

So, 6 + 2 * 3 = 12.

How can the perimeter be 12?

V = C * square root of RS.
V = 54.8 * square root of (1.5 * 0.0005).
= 1.5 m/s.

Let are be the hydrolic depth=1.5m.

S be the bed slope = 0.0005.

C is the chezys constant = 54.8.

Now we know that:

Velocity = 54.8*1.22*0.0005 = 1.5m/sec.

Discharge Q = a*v = 6*4*1.5 = 27.

Hydraulic mean depth = area/perimeter.

R=a/p
R=18/12.
R=1.5.

V=c*r*s.
V=54.8*1.5*.0004.
V=1.50075m/s.

Q=a.v.
Q=18*1.5.
Q=27m3/s.
