PROBLEM 6 Water enters the lock of a ship canal through 200 ports, each port having a 2 ft x 2 ft cross-section. The lock is 900 ft long and 85 ft wide. The lock is designed so that the water surface in it will rise at a maximum rate of 5 ft/min. For this condition, (a) what is the rate of flow (ft/s) (b) What will be the mean velocity (ft/s) in each port? 85 m 900 m Port Water antering the canal
