Conveyance of a channel section is directly proportional to which of the following?
- ADischarge
- BArea of cross-sectionCorrect
- CBed-slope
- DManning’s coefficient
Solution
Concept
Conveyance
Formula
K = (1/n) A R2/3
Step-by-step solution
1. Conveyance K = Q/√S = A R2/3/n.
Explanation
K depends on the geometry (area) and roughness.
Why the other options are wrong
It is inversely proportional to n.
Shortcut
K ∝ A.
Correct answer: B) Area of cross-section
