Question

The viscosity of a stream is also related to its velocity. As the velocity diminishes, the coarsest grained particles settle out of the water earlier because of the greater viscosities About how fast must a stream be flowing to begin to move a medium sized pebble(11.3mm) 10 cm/s 20 cm/s 90 cm/s 55 cm/s In the text eBook. Figure 10 20 shows a beaker full of sediments that had been stirred with completely stagnant water. What is preventing these fine grained particles from settling to the Brownian Motion

Explanation / Answer

Genarally the speed of a river varies from close to 0 m/s to 3.1m/s or 0/cm to 310cm/s
So here 11.3mm pebble can begin to move required speed is 90cm/s. because only young or mature stage rivers has this much speed. pebbles can move only in earlier stages of river that means younger stages.
