Kindly answer correctly. Please show the necessary steps.

 

An experiment is conducted in a laboratory channel. Accuracy is important. The channel is 50 cm wide. The
discharge down the channel is measured using a rectangular weir that has a crest 25 cm long. The crest of the
weir is set at a height of 25 cm above the bottom of the channel. The head over the weir crest, measured at a
suitable distance upstream is 25 cm. The coefficient of the discharge of the weir is 0.781. Ignoring side
contractions:
(a) Calculate the discharge ignoring the velocity of approach
(b) Calculate the discharge taking into account the velocity of approach
(c) Calculate the percentage error in the discharge that results from ignoring the velocity of approach.
a)
Estimate of discharge ignoring the velocity of approach (l/s)
Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
