Water flows in a rectangular channel of width, w. In some cases, the water may suddenly increase in elevation as shown in the figure (from h1 to h2) through a highly disturbed region called a hydraulic jump. Assume the velocity is uniform at stations 1 and 2, and assume the pressures are distributed hydrostatically. (a) Using the conservation of mass and momentum, find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, h2, in terms of h1, V1, and g. (b) Using the Bernoulli equation and whatever other necessary equation(s), find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, h2, in terms of h1, V1, and g. In light of (a) and (b) above, does your answer to this part make sense? Explain.(c) For h1 = 1 m and V1 = 7:6 m/s, find the downstream height, h2, using whichever of the above approaches is the most correct. (Note that there are two valid solutions - explain.) What is the downstream velocity?

The masonry dam shown in the figure is subjected to water pressure at upstream side. It is built on a rock foundation. It is made of masonry having a weight of 150 pounds per cubic foot. The intensity of hydrostatic pressure at the base varies uniformly from 20% of the full hydrostatic pressure at the heel to zero at the toe. Calculate the minimum width "b" of the base such that no tension will occur at the base. Hint: so that no tension will occur at the base, the resultant reaction must act at one third of the base. Round off your answer into one decimal place. Answer: b = 9m 2m 1m H m b

Water is flowing in a trapezoidal channel at a rate of Q = 20 m³/s. The critical depth y for such a channel must satisfy the equation: 1 -3 B = 0 where g = 9.81 m/s?, Ac =the cross-sectional area (m?), and B = Q? the width of the channel at the surface (m). For this case, the width and the cross-sectional area can be related to depth y by B = 3 + y and A. = 3y +: Solve for the critical depth using bisection method using the initial guesses x = 0.5 and xu = 2.5.
