QUESTION 11 Putting It All Together: Rocky Branch Creek In spring of 2021, a GEOL 101 student took a trip to Rocky Branch Creek in Columbia, SC, which you saw in Part 1. They made some measurements of depth and surface velocity at different points across the creek at two different locations. At both locations, the stream was 5 meters wide, so they divided the channel into five parts, each 1 meter wide. These are recorded below. Using what you learned in the previous parts of this lab, calculate the discharge at both locations. Please round your answers to two decimal places 5 m Distance across the river (m) (Note: this is NOT width!) |Depth (m) Cross-sectional area (meters squared) Surface velocity (m/s) Adjusted velocity (m/s) 0.5 0.07 6.8 5.44 0.15 1.5 2.5 3.5 & 4.5 0m Total discharge (cubic meters / second): 0.20 0.13 0.09 0.07 7.0 7.3 6.5 6.3 Discharge (cubic meters per second) 0.38 Location 2 Please round your answers to two decimal places Distance across the river (m) (Note: this is NOT width!) |Depth (m) Cross-sectional area (meters squared) Surface velocity (m/s) Adjusted velocity (m/s) 0.5 5.44 0.11 6.8 7.0 1.5 2.5 13.5 4.5 Total discharge (cubic meters / second): 0.17 0.24 0.16 0.10 0.11 7.3 6.5 6.3 Discharge (cubic meters per second) 0.60 QUESTION 11 Putting It All Together: Rocky Branch Creek In spring of 2021, a GEOL 101 student took a trip to Rocky Branch Creek in Columbia, SC, which you saw in Part 1.
