A watershed with total area of 181 km2 has a network of six rain gages showing storm rainfall depths of 17 mm (Area 1 = 14 km2), 6 mm (Area 2 = 40 km2), 18 mm (Area 3 = 22 km2), 21 mm (Area 4 = 57 km2), 27 mm (Area 5 = 9 km2), and 2 mm (Area 6 = 39 km2). Estimate the total rainfall volume in m3 from this storm using your result from the polygon approach.
At winter's end, Lake Superior's 82,000-km2 surface is frozen to a depth of 1.3 m. The density of ice is 917 kg/m3. How much energy does it take to melt the ice? If the ice disappears in 3 weeks, what is the average power supplied to melt it?
A 0.304-m-thick sheet of ice covers a lake. The air temperature at the ice surface is -19.0 °C. In 6.00 minutes, the ice thickens by a small amount. Assume that no heat flows from the ground below into the water and that the added ice is very thin compared to 0.304 m. Calculate the number of millimeters by which the ice thickens
A 0.30-m-thick sheet of ice covers a lake. The air temperature at the ice surface is −15∘C In five minutes, the ice thickens by a small amount. Assume that no heat flows from the ground below into the water and that the added ice is very thin compared to 0.30 m. Find the number of millimeters by which the ice thicken please do not skip steps
A reservoir has a surface area of 50.3 km2 and an average depth of 45.0 m. A dam at one end of the reservoir is 574 m wide and the depth of water at the dam is 72.6 m. a) What mass of water is held in the reservoir? b) What pressure must the dam withstand at its base?
6. a) The hydrograph observed at the outlet of a basin of area 160 km2 is given in a table below. It is assumed that the rainfall intensity is constant at 50 mm/hr and the infiltration index is 10 mm/hr. Derive the unit hydrograph of a basin. t(min) 30 60 90 120 150 Q (m/s) 200 800 1400 800 200 200 0 b) Please calculate the total runoff hydrograph (with baseflow) if uniform rainfall depth 2cm occurs within an hour.
Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is negligible friction between his feet and the ice. A friend throws Olaf a ball of mass 0.400 kg that is traveling horizontally at 10.2 m/s . Olaf's mass is 73.5 kg .
