Question: ( a ) A river having rectangular cross - section 1 2 5 m wide and 6 . 0 0 m deep has a bed

(a) A river having rectangular cross-section 125m wide and 6.00m deep has a bed slope of 1 in 4000. The bed of the river consists of fine sand of 0.25mm diameter, and the bed roughness ks can be taken as 0.45mm. The vertical velocity distribution at the vertical centre line of the river is given by uu0=2.5ln(30yks). The sediment density is2650kgm3 and viscosity of water =1.1410-3kgm-s.Estimate the total suspended sediment discharge based on the relationship qs=Cuy, where qs is the transport rate per unit width. Use
Rouse equation to find C.
