G1 and G2 are the slopes of the approach and departure grades of a vertical curve, respectively.
Given |G1| < |G2| and |G1| ≠ |G2| ≠ 0
Statement 1 : +G1 followed by +G2 results in a sag vertical curve.
Statement 2 : −G1 followed by −G2 results in a sag vertical curve.
Statement 3 : +G1 followed by −G2 results in a crest vertical curve.
Which option amongst the following is true?
A very wide rectangular channel carries a discharge (Q) of 70 m3/s per meter width. Its bed slope changes from 0.0001 to 0.0009 at a point P, as shown in the figure (not to scale). The Manning’s roughness coefficient of the channel is 0.01. What water surface profile(s) exist(s) near the point P?
