A 10 ha watershed received 100 mm uniformly distributed rainfall. Land use pattern consists of 25% residential area with soil group C and curve number 82, good meadow condition in 50% of the area with soil group D and curve number 78. There is also good open space condition in 25% of the area with soil group D and curve number 80. Assuming AMC-II condition, the volume of runoff in m3 from the watershed will be

Two catchments M and N are meteorologically similar. The basin length (L), length to the centroid (\(L_{ca}\)), and the drainage area (A) of catchment M are 36 km, 18 km, and 250 km2, respectively. The L, \(L_{ca}\) and A for catchment N are 50 km, 30 km, and 400 km2, respectively.
For 6-h unit hydrograph in catchment M, the peak discharge of 50 m3.s-1 occurs at 12 h from the beginning of the rainfall excess. Using Snyder’s method, the peak of the 6-h unit hydrograph for catchment N (in m3.s-1) is ______. (Rounded off to two decimal places)
