Question
Water flows in a rectangular channel that is 2.0 m wide asshown in Fig. P3.124. The upstream depth is 70 mm. The water surfacerises 40 mm as it passes over a portion where the channel bottomrises 10 mm. If viscous effects are negligible, what is the flowrate?
Solution
The first step in solving 3.6.2 problem number 85 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Water flows in a rectangular channel that is 2.0 m wide asshown in Fig. P3.124. The upstream depth is 70 mm. The water surfacerises 40 mm as it passes over a portion where the channel bottomrises 10 mm. If viscous effects are negligible, what is the flowrate?
From the textbook chapter Confined Flows you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
