10 In a channel of rectangular cross section with a slope of 1 in 1000, the discharge is to be 1,4 m³/s when the channel is running full. Its depth is half as its breadth. If the channel is roughly excavated, the coefficient of discharge C is 27 in SI units, and the Chezy formula is V = C √(Rs). If the bottom and side slopes are finished smoothly, C = 81 (R = hydraulic radius, s = slope) Assuming the cost of excavation /m³ is twice the cost of smooth finishing /m² Compare the costs of the two types of channels.

: Water flows over a smooth submerged object in a channel of width 1.2 m. The water depth upstream of the object is 2.2 m and the water depth downstream is 0.5 m. i) Use the Bernoulli and Continuity equations to calculate the discharge within the channel, and sketch the energy grade line and hydraulic grade line for this problem. ii) The measured discharge in the channel is 2.4 m³/s. Calculate the discharge coefficient, and describe what this physically represents. iii) A pitot tube (or stagnation tube) is placed in the downstream part of the channel, where the water depth is 0.5 m. Calculate the height to which water will rise within this pitot tube (above the depth of water in the channel).
