Problem 1: A catchment has the following Horton’s infiltration parameters: f0=280 mm/hr, fc=25 mm/hr and k = 2.5 hr-1 . For the
rainfall distribution is given below Interval (mins) 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 Rainfall (mm/hr) 25 50 80 205 170 (a) What is the cumulative infiltration rate (F), infiltration rate (fp), depression storage (S) and runoff (R) at each time step (b) What time does ponding occur?
1 answer:
Answer:
Ponding will occur in 40mins
Explanation:
We say that the infiltration rate is the velocity or speed at which water enters into the soil. This often times is measured by the depth (in mm) of the water layer that can enter the soil in one hour. An infiltration rate of 15 mm/hour means that a water layer of 15 mm on the soil surface, will take one hour to infiltrate.
Consider checking attachment for the step by step solution.

Answer: the theoretical density is 4.1109 g/cm³
Explanation:
first the image of one set of ZnS bonding in the crystal structure, we calculate the value of angle θ
θ + ∅ + 90° = 180°
θ = 90° - ∅
θ = 90° - ( 109.5° / 2 )
θ = 35.25°
next we calculate the value of x from the geometry
given that; distance angle d = 0.234
x = dsinθ
= 0.234 × sin35.25°)
= 0.135 nm = 0.135 × 10⁻⁷ cm
next we calculate the length of the unit cell
a = 4x
a = 4(0.135)
a = 0.54 nm = 0.54 × 10⁻⁷ cm
next we calculate number of formula units
n' = (no of corner atoms in unit ell × contribution of each corner atom in unit cell) + ( no of face center atom in a unit cell × contribution of each face center atom in a unit cell)
n' = 8 × 1/8) + ( 6 × 1/2)
= 1 + 3
= 4
next we calculate the theoretical density using this equation
P = [n'∑(Ac + AA)] / [Vc.NA]
= [n'∑(Ac + AA)] / [(a)³NA]
where the ∑Ac is sum of atomic weights of all cations in the formula unit( 65.41 g/mol)
∑AA is the sum of weights of all anions in the formula unit( 32.06 g/mol)
Na is the Avogadro’s number( 6.023 × 10²³ units/mole)
so we substitute
P = [4( 65.41 + 32.06)] / [ ( 0.54 × 10⁻⁷ )³ × (6.023 × 10²³)]
= 389.88 / 94.84
= 4.1109 g/cm³
therefore the theoretical density is 4.1109 g/cm³
