Which hydraulic principle governs the operation of a broad-crested canal fall?
61. Which hydraulic principle governs the operation of a broad-crested canal fall?
- Bernoulli's theorem
- Chezy's equation
- Manning's equation
- Froude's equation
Answer
The correct answer is: D) Froude's equation
Explanation
Froude's equation is essential for understanding the hydraulic behavior of broad-crested falls and guaranteeing their smooth operation. It connects flow velocity, depth, and acceleration due to gravity.
