Problem 4.2: The head on the crest of a controlled overflow spillway is 2.1 m. Approach flow velocity is 2 m/s. Total bridge length over the spillway is 50 m. There are 4 rounded piers each 1 m wide. Abutments are rounded. Take K₂ = 0.01 and K₂ = 0.10. Determine: a) the discharges over the spillway crest for the openings of 0.6 m, 0.8 m, 1.0 m, 1.2 m, and 1.4 m; and b) the gate opening to transmit Q=170 m³/s. Answers: a) 118.4 m³/s, 151.6 m³/s, 181.8 m/s, 208.7 m/s, 232.3 m³/s. b) 92.2 cm (by linear interpolation)
