Q5/ Derive an expression for the discharge over a sharp crested rectangular weir. A sharp edged weir (Fig. 5) is to be constructed across a stream in which the normal flow is 200 liters/s. If the maximum flow likely to occur in the stream is 5 times the normal flow then determine the length of weir necessary to limit the rise in water level to 38.4cm above that for normal flow. Ca=0.61. Fig. 5

A weir is to be installed to measure a flow of 0.80 m3/s. If the maximum (total) depth of water that can be accommodated at the weir is 1.0 m and the width of the channel is 4.0 m, determine the crest height (P) of a suppressed weir that should be used to measure the flowrate.
An unsymmetrical triangular weir with a vertex angle equal to a = 38 deg(left half) + B = 31 deg(right half). What is the flow rate through the weir (L/s) if the head over the crest is 2.2m? c = 0.574
A 90° V-notch weir is used to measure the discharge from a spring. What is the (a) theoretical discharge and (b) actual discharge if the head on the weir is 5 cm? Use a 0.58 discharge coefficient.

A triangular threshold is used to control the water depth which tends to be constant upstream of an open channel. Water flows on a V-notch weir with = 90^o and the magnitude of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. What is the water discharge upstream of the threshold when conditions are normal with a water level of 0.24 m and during a flood with a water level of 1 m?
PROBLEM 6 Water flows at a rate of 8.80 m³/s over a broad-crested weir that is 1.8 m high. Determine the length L (m) if the weir coefficient is 1.67 and the head is 0.70 m.
The head on a sharp-crested, rectangular weir was incorrectly observed to be 1.93 m. when it was actually 3.53 m. If the crest length is 4.83 meters, determine the percentage error (in percent) in the computed value of the flow rate. Use coefficient of discharge = 0.985. Round off to two decimal places.
the river flow passes through a 2.08 wide rectangular sharp crested weir. If the water level several meter upstream is 1.4 m what is the discharge (m^3/s) over the weir given that the flow reaches 0.1m above the crest? assume cw=0.637 and do not consider the velocity approach
Choose the letter of the correct answer. Please answer honestly and do not just guess. Develop a formula for the discharge over a 90° V-notch weir in terms of head above the bottom of the V.
