Explanation

• Measured length = 250 m
• Standard chain length = 20 m
• Chain is 10 cm longer = 0.10 m
• Actual chain length = 20 + 0.10 = 20.10 m

Formula:

True Length=Measured Length×Actual Chain Length/Standard Chain Length​

Substitute:

=250×20.10/20

​ $$=250\times 1.005$$

=251.25 m

Explanation

Use the formula: (a+b)^2=a^2 +2ab+b^2

(102)^2 =(100+2)^2

=10000+400+4

=10,404

Explanation

• A series of steps is called a staircase, stairway, or a flight of stairs

Explanation

• Cast iron pipes are strong and durable.
• They are mainly used for underground water-supply lines.
• They can withstand high water pressure.
• They have a long service life.
• They are suitable for large and permanent water-supply systems

Explanation

• Plain Sedimentation (4–8 hours): Relies purely on gravity for natural particle settling.
• Coagulation-Sedimentation (2–4 hours): Uses chemical coagulants to accelerate particle clumping and settling.
• Detention Time Formula: Calculated as (T =V/Q), dividing tank volume (V) by flow rate (Q) [KETOS].

Explanation

• Montague fall is a type of canal fall.
• It uses a parabolic glacis for energy dissipation.
• The parabolic shape helps control high-velocity flow.
• It converts excess energy and reduces scouring.
• It is used in irrigation canal systems.

Explanation

A fluid flow in which the velocity vector has the same magnitude and direction at every point at any given instant is known as a uniform flow.

Explanation

Explanation

• Egg-shaped sewer is suitable for a combined sewerage system.
• Combined sewers carry both sewage and storm water.
• The egg shape provides better velocity during low dry-weather flow.
• During heavy rainfall, it can carry large volumes of water.
• It helps reduce sediment deposition inside the sewer.
