For hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel derive equation relating sequent depths with initial Froude number.
Assume the following channel slopes occur in a prismatic open channel depicted in Figure 5. Note where the water surface begins on the left. Number the water surface curves with a 1 if the water surface is above both ye and yo, 2 if the water surface is between ye and yo, and 3 if the water surface is below both ye and yo.

A hydrographic survey was conducted on a reservoir to determine its capacity by contour method. The depth of water at sounding point P1 was 10.50m and its elevation at the bottom was computed to be 210.30m. A sounding point P2 at a distance of 35.45m from P1 was observed to have a depth of 3.25m and its elevation at the bottom was determined to be 217.55m. If a subaqueous contour is to be drawn between P1 and P2 with a contour interval 0.50m, how many contours that can be drawn? Select the correct response: 9 15 10 17

We are designing a culvert and a project criterion is to not have roadway overtopping. We need to calculate the TW, HW elevation, and maximum allowable total head loss (H) as a step in the design process of the culvert.
