The velocity in a large canal or channel measured at a depth of ___________________ gives the mean velocity using the current meter?

Correct answer: C. 0.6 depth

  • A. 0.6m
  • B. 0.5m
  • C. 0.6 depth
  • D. 0.5 depth

Explanation

In a sufficiently deep canal or channel, measuring velocity at 0.6 of the total depth below the water surface gives a practical approximation of mean velocity. This is the standard single-point current-meter method.
