Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 5P
Determine and plot the relation between water velocity and depth over the range of V = 0.1 m/s to 10 m/s for Froude numbers of 0.5 (subcritical), 1.0 (critical), and 2 (supercritical). Explain how the flow can be subcritical, critical, or supercritical for (a) the same velocity and (b) the same depth.

In the fountain shown, water flowing at 35 lpm exits the weir
at the top, with a stream that is 17 cm wide and 0.20 cm thick.
Determine the diameter of the stream (cm) at a point 88 cm
below the weir, assuming that the flow has a cylindrical shape
at this location
Solution: 1.3 cm
I need help correcting this problem (step by step for what is wrong).
A submerged sharp crested weir 0.81 m high stands clear across a channel having vertical sides and width of 3.15 m. The depth of water in the channel of approach is 1.26 m, and 10.5 m downstream from the weir the depth of water is 0.93 m. Determine the discharge in litres per minute. Assume Cd1 = 0.58 and Cd2 = 0.80.
