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 \( h_1 \) to \( h_2 \)) 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.
#### Diagram Description:
The diagram depicts a hydraulic jump with the following elements:
- Initial height of water (\( h_1 \)) at station 1 and the corresponding velocity (\( V_1 \)).
- The region of hydraulic jump is indicated, representing a sudden rise in water level.
- Downstream height of water (\( h_2 \)) at station 2 with the corresponding velocity (\( V_2 \)).
