4.2.12R WP A hydraulic jump is shown in Fig. P4.2.12R. The depth of flow z2 after the hydraulic jump is 4 m larger than z1. The total flowrate in the channel is 400 m³/s and the channel width is 50 m. The length l over which the jump occurs is about 0.5 m. If the depth z1 = 6 m, then what is the average acceleration (in g's) of the liquid as it flows across the jump. Hydraulic jump V2 V1 Z2 Z1 FIGURE P4.2.12R
