In Kennedy’s silt theory, the critical velocity is proportional to which power of the depth of flow?

Correct answer A. D^0.64

Explanation

Kennedy's equation is V₀ = 0.55mD^0.64, where D is the depth of flow and m the critical velocity ratio, so critical velocity varies with depth raised to the power 0.64.
