Fluid Mechanics Questions and Answers – Geometrical Properties of Triangular Section – 1

This set of Fluid Mechanics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Geometrical Properties of Triangular Section – 1”.

1. What is the wetted area for a triangular channel having depth y and the side slope being Z?
a) Zy²
b) 2Zy
c) Zy
d) Z² y
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation:

The Area of the Triangle = (½) (base) (height)
Base = Zy+Zy = 2Zy
Area = (1/2) (2Zy) (y)
Area = Zy².

2. Calculate the wetted perimeter of a triangular section having depth y and the side slope is Z.
a) 2Zy
b) Zy
c) y\(\sqrt{1+Z^2}\)
d) 2y\(\sqrt{1+Z^2}\)
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Wetted perimeter = Length of the sides (excluding the base)

3. Calculate the wetted perimeter of a triangular section having a depth of 4m and the side slope is1H:1V.
a) 7.94m
b) 8.94m
c) 9.94m
d) 10.94m

4. Estimate the wetted area of a triangular channel having a depth of 5m and the side slope is 2H:1V.
a) 50m²
b) 60m²
c) 70m²
d) 80m²

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation:

9. What is the section factor for a triangular channel having depth y and side slope Z?
a) \(\frac{2Zy^{\frac{5}{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
b) \(\frac{Zy^{\frac{5}{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
c) \(\frac{Zy^{\frac{5}{2}}}{2}\sqrt{2}\)
d) \(\frac{Zy^{\frac{5}{2}}}{2}\)
View Answer
