Answer:

S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}

Explanation:

given,

side slope = 1 : 1

hydraulic depth(y) = 5 ft

bottom width (b)= 8 ft

x = 1

Q = 2,312 ft³/s

n = 0.013

slope of channel = ?

R = \dfrac{A}{P}

R = \dfrac{y(b + xy)}{b+2y\sqrt{1+x^2}}

R = \dfrac{5(8+ 5)}{8+2\times 5\sqrt{1+1^2}}

R = 4.69 m

using manning's equation

Q = \dfrac{1}{n}AR^{2/3} S^{1/2}

2312= \dfrac{1}{0.013}\times (5(8+5))\times 4.69^{2/3} S^{1/2}

2312=14009.37\times S^{1/2}

S = 0.406

S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}

If you wanted to produce more power,what could you do to maximize power
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time.  You will also hear it described as work per unit time.  The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time).  This is expressed as a fraction as J/s.  If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).

The equation of a progressive
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Amplitude = 0.02m

Frequency = 640 Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.5m

v = 320 m/s

Explanation:

Given the wave equation :

y=0.02 sin2π/0.5 (320t - x) where x and y are in

meters and t is in second

Comparing the above relation with the general wave equation :

y(x, t) = Asin2π/λ(wt - kx)

The amplitude, A = 0.02

From the equation :

2π/0.5 = 2π/λ

λ = 0.5 m

320t = vt

Hence, v = 320 m/s

Recall :

v = fλ

320 = f * 0.5

f = 320 / 0.5

f = 640 Hz
