A V-notch is simple flow-measurement device for streams and channels of angle a, as shown in the figure below. The volume flow Q depends only on a, the acceleration of gravity g, and the height d of the upstream water surface above the notch vertex. Tests of a model V-notch, of angle a= 55°, yield the following flow rate data: 8, cm: 11 22 31 39 Q, m³/h: 8. 125 262 47 (a) Using dimensional analysis and Buckingham’'s II theorem, develop a correlation for the data.
