The silt factor of the bed material is unity. If the tailwater depth is 4.4 m, the length of launching apron in the launched position is
(a) √5m
(b) 4.7 m
(c) 5 m
(d) 5√5 m

Q 5) Figure shows the section (non-overflow portion) of a straight gravity dam built with concrete. Considering water pressure and uplift pressure, and neglecting the other external forces acting on the dam, check whether the resultant passes through the middle third of the base for the reservoir full condition. In the figure, RL stands for Reduced Level in meters and MWL stands for Maximum Water Level. (Unit weight of water is 1000 kg/m3 and that of concrete is 2400 kg/m3)
