Take note: Answer and write your solution on a clean paper clearly. During a flood flow the depth of water in a 12 m wide rectangular channel was found to be 3.5 m and 3.3 m at two sections 300 m apart. The drop in the water-surface elevation was found to be 0.18 m. Assuming Manning’s coefficient to be 0.023, determine the following: a. Average value of k? b. Estimate the flood discharge through the channel ?

: Water flows over a smooth submerged object in a channel of width 1.2 m. The water depth upstream of the object is 2.2 m and the water depth downstream is 0.5 m. i) Use the Bernoulli and Continuity equations to calculate the discharge within the channel, and sketch the energy grade line and hydraulic grade line for this problem. ii) The measured discharge in the channel is 2.4 m³/s. Calculate the discharge coefficient, and describe what this physically represents. iii) A pitot tube (or stagnation tube) is placed in the downstream part of the channel, where the water depth is 0.5 m. Calculate the height to which water will rise within this pitot tube (above the depth of water in the channel).
