Find the discharge over the rectangular sharp crested weir shown in the photo

Transcribed Image Text:### Transcription of Diagram and Questions
#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram illustrates a channel with specified dimensions and labels:
- The rectangular channel profile is shown with a weir crest and a channel invert.
- Vertical dimensions:
- Total height from the channel invert to the top is 6.00 feet.
- Height from the channel invert to the weir crest is 1.25 feet.
- The head above the weir crest is shown as 0.55 feet.
- Horizontal dimensions:
- The total width at the top is 4.00 feet.
- The width of the channel at the base (weir crest) is 2.00 feet.
#### Questions:
**8.** A tank measuring 100 feet by 100 feet by 10 feet is completely filled with water. If a 4-inch-diameter, squared-edged orifice is located 1.00 foot above the bottom of the tank (to the orifice center),
- (a) What is the discharge?
- (b) Estimate the time required to empty the tank halfway.
**9.** Find the discharge over a 90-degree V-notch weir if the head is 7.5 inches.
**10.** Find the discharge over a 60-degree V-notch weir if the head is 6.25 inches.
**11.** Find the discharge over the rectangular, sharp-crested weir shown below.
