7) A sharp crested weir is to be installed to measure flow in the range of 0.5 m³/s to 1.0 m/s. If the maximum (total) depth of water that can be accommodate at the weir is 1 m and the width of the channel is 4 m, determine the crest height of a suppressed weir that should be used to measure the flow rate. Answer: 7) The height of the weir should be 0.735 m
