A cantilever beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load. At what point along the beam's length does the maximum deflection occur?
The resultant of two forces P & Q ( such that P > Q) acting along the same straight line but in opposite direction, is given by
(A) Floods are exceedingly complex natural events. They are resultant of a number of component parameters and are therefore very difficult to model them analytically.
(B) In the regions having same climatological characteristics, if the available flood data are quite insufficient, the enveloping curve technique can be used to develop a relationship between the minimum flood flow and drainage area.
(C) For design purposes, extreme rainfall situations are used to obtain the design storm.
(D) The rational formula is found to be suitable for a peak flow prediction in small catchments upto 75 km\(^2\) in an area.
(E) The rational formula assumes a homogeneous catchment surface.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
The limitations to the use of unit hydrographs are:

(A) Snow melt runoff cannot be satisfactorily represented by unit hydrograph.
(B) The catchment should not have unusually large storages in terms of tanks, ponds, large flood bank storages, etc. which affect the linear relationship between storage and discharge.
(C) If the precipitation is decidedly uniform, unit hydrographs can not be expected to give good results.
(D) The rainfall intensity is assumed constant for the duration of the rainfall excess.
(E) The duration of rainfall should be 1/6 to 1/2 of the basin lag.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A 12-h unit hydrograph of a catchment is triangular in shape with a base width of 144h and a peak discharge of 23 cumec. This unit hydrograph refers to a catchment area of
