Question: 8 . 1 0 . 1 . A horizontal rectangular stilling basin ( U . S . B . R . Type III ) is

8.10.1. A horizontal rectangular stilling basin (U.S.B.R. Type III) is used at the outlet of a spillway to dissipate energy. The spillway discharges 800ft3s and has a uniform width of 80 ft . At the point where the water enters the basin, the velocity is 20fts. Compute
a. the sequent depth of the hydraulic jump,
b. the length of the jump,
c. the energy loss in the jump,
d. the efficiency of the jump defined as the ratio of specific energy after to the specific energy before the hydraulic jump.
THE CORRECT ANSWES ARE;
a. d2=3.5 ft
b. L=8.1 ft
c. E=3.9 ft
d. Efficiency =0.54 or 54%
