1. The largest particles that a stream deposits as it enters a pond are 8 centimeters in diameter. The

minimum velocity of the stream is approximately
1) 100 cm/sec 2) 200 cm/sec 3) 300 cm/sec 4) 400 cm/sec

Final answer:

Without additional data or specific empirical relations, it is not possible to accurately determine the minimum velocity of the stream required to carry 8 cm diameter particles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is about determining the minimum velocity of a stream required to transport particles of a certain size. In this case, the largest particles have a diameter of 8 centimeters. To find the minimum velocity with the given options, one needs the concept of sediment transport in fluid dynamics. However, the specific velocity required to transport an 8 cm diameter particle is not provided in the reference material, and it would typically require empirical data or calculations based on fluid dynamics principles such as the Hjulström curve, which is beyond the scope of the resources provided. Therefore, it is not possible to definitively answer the student's question without additional data or context regarding the conditions of the stream and the particles.
