Determine the height of a rectangular
weir of length 5m to be built across a
rectangular channel. The maximum depth
of water on the upstream side of the weir
is 1.5m and discharge is 1.5m^3 /sec
Take Cd =0.6 and neglect end
contractions.
A sharp crested suppressed weir under a head of 2.03 m is 3.50 m high and 2m long. Determine the discharge over the weir, if C = 0.603. Neglect the velocity of approach.
