The second term may safely be neglected for slopes flatter than about 1 in 25. Therefore,
h^2/2l=25%.
H^2/2*20=0.25,
H^2=10,
H=3.16.=3 (approx).
h^2/2l=25%.
H^2/2*20=0.25,
H^2=10,
H=3.16.=3 (approx).

In (h^4) / (8l^3), The Value comes out 0.008 (Almost 0%) up to filling of h=2.9. At h=3m the value comes out 0.01.
so, h=3 is the right answer.
so, h=3 is the right answer.

If the value of h is maximum then h^4 value is greater than the other value. So how is possible to this? Value goes nearest to zero right?

In this case, if we neglected 2nd term the correction should be less 20%. So,(h^2/2x20)<20% or 0.2. results h<2.828 m.

Correct @Imran.
As we decrease the value of h less than 3, the second term impact becomes negligence so 3 is the answer.

Answer is 1
From answer verification, If we substitute 1/2 in second term then it will negligible compared to other.

H^2=2*20.
=6.32.
SUBSTITUTE THE VALUE IN THE FORMULA.
6.32^2/2*20+6.32^4/8*(20^3).
0.998+2.492=3.4 (approx).
=6.32.

h^2/2l = 1.
h^2/2 * 20 = 1,
h^2/40 = 1.
h^2 = 40.
Therefore(h) =6.32 (how will come 3 answer plz explain briefly).

For slope less than 1 in 25 so h/l is less than or eqal to1 in 25 so h is q.
Equal to or less than (.8).
Equal to or less than (.8).

@All.
Answer is 1
Very simple put tan(3°)=h/20.
You will get the answer.
h=1m.
