A stone sewer, having area 4 m2, wetted perimeter 1 m, is laid on a slope of 1 in 100. Let N = 0.01, calculate the discharge into the sewer.
100.8 cumecs
This question asks us to calculate the discharge ($Q$) in a stone sewer using the given parameters: Area ($A$), Wetted Perimeter ($P$), Slope ($S$), and Manning's roughness coefficient ($N$). We will use Manning's formula, a fundamental equation in open channel flow analysis.
First, let's list the known values provided in the question:
Manning's formula requires the hydraulic radius ($R$), which is defined as the ratio of the flow area ($A$) to the wetted perimeter ($P$).
The formula for hydraulic radius is:
$$ R = \frac{A}{P} $$
Substituting the given values:
$$ R = \frac{4 \text{ m}^2}{1 \text{ m}} $$
$$ R = 4 \text{ m} $$
Manning's formula for discharge ($Q$) in an open channel is:
$$ Q = \frac{1}{N} A R^{\frac{2}{3}} S^{\frac{1}{2}} $$
Where:
Now, let's plug the values into Manning's formula:
$$ Q = \frac{1}{0.01} \times 4 \text{ m}^2 \times (4 \text{ m})^{\frac{2}{3}} \times (0.01)^{\frac{1}{2}} $$
$$ Q = 100 \times 4 \times (4)^{\frac{2}{3}} \times 0.1 $$
$$ (4)^{\frac{2}{3}} \approx 2.5198 $$
$$ Q = 100 \times 4 \times 2.5198 \times 0.1 $$
$$ Q = 400 \times 2.5198 \times 0.1 $$
$$ Q = 1007.92 \times 0.1 $$
$$ Q \approx 100.792 \text{ cumecs} $$
$$ Q \approx 100.8 \text{ cumecs} $$
Comparing our calculated discharge with the given options, the closest value is 100.8 cumecs.
Therefore, the discharge into the sewer is approximately 100.8 cumecs.
