Question
At the bottom of a water ride in an amusement park, the water in the rectangular channel has a depth of 1.2 ft and
a velocity of 15.6 ft/s.
(a) Determine the height (ft) of the "standing wave" (hydraulic jump) that the boat passes through for its final
"splash".
(b) What is the velocity (ft/s) of flow?
(c) What is the Froude number of the upstream depth?
(d) What is the Froude number of the standing wave?
(e) What is the critical depth (ft)?
