Question

Which of the following statement is not correct about Einstein’s theory?

(a) He put forward a mathematical approach to the problem of bed load transport

(b) He further postulated probability of the grain being dislodged is directly proportional to the lift force which the flow can exert on the grain

(c) He introduced a factor called Einstein’s bedload function

(d) He gave a curve graph which can be used to compute the bedload transport rate of a given channel

The question was posed to me in an online interview.

I need to ask this question from Sediment Transport in section Sediment Transport and Irrigation Channels Design of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) He put forward a mathematical approach to the problem of bed load transport

Best explanation: He put forward a semi-theoretical approach to the problem of bed load transport. It was assumed that every particle travels a certain minimum distance before coming to rest after it is dislodged from the bed.
